Friday Night Football Game 10-7-16

As of today the football game is still on.  Student report time is 6pm in the band room.  All students will need to wear jeans, sneakers, band tee, hoodie and bring rain gear. (dress for the weather) We will not be in our uniforms tomorrow if it is raining. If anything changes the students will be notifies ASAP.

October 8th Competition Update

Parents and Students,

This is the latest update for the competitions that we will be attending on October 8th.

We perform at North Gaston rain or shine at 4:20pm.  If it rains we will perform a stand still in the gym. If the field is dry enough to march on we will perform outside.

We perform at Gaffney at 8:15pm rain or shine.  We will be performing outside.  The award Ceremony has been moved to 10:50pm. This puts the band coming back to Forestview at 12:30am. If you would like to take your child after the performance at Gaffney I will need a note by tomorrow. In the note please state that you will take your child after the Gaffney performance.  If I do not have a note I assume they will be riding the bus back to the school to be picked up at 12:30am. 

It is an expectation that the students ride the bus to and from a school event. However, I understand how late we will be returning to Forestview.  We will need your child to perform at both locations on Saturday.

If anything changes I will let you all know ASAP.

Here is the latest schedule: 
 The first competition is at North Gaston.  After we perform at North Gaston we will load the buses and head to Gaffney High School for Competition 2. North Gaston's ticket prices are $6 for adults and children 5 and under are free.  Gaffney's ticket prices are $8 for adults and children 5 and under are free.
