Band Camp Forms: .docx // .pdf (Pdf seems to be more friendly)
There are still a few spots open on our roster - it is not too late to join Marching Band / Band Camp for next season. Feel free to hand in the full payment w/ forms if you are interested.
We are still in need of chaperones - both male and female - for band camp. For more information and/or to volunteer - Please contact Christyne MacDermaid at 734-476-0312 or christynemacdermaid@gmail.com.

It's been an awesome year folks! I can't wait to see everyone again at band camp / next school year - and introduce my son to everyone ^.^ (Pictures and such will be posted on Facebook whenever he decides its time to come). I am pretty hyped about the main show next year - it's going to be awesome!
I hope everyone have a safe and wonderful summer!
(Marching Band related - but just something fun / unrelated to the program that I figured a few students / parents may enjoy taking their family to. If anyone enjoys DCI - there is an awesome live theatre event that is happening nationwide. The 2015 DCI Tour Premiere is going to be aired live in certain cinemas for one night - Weds, June 17th. For more information on this event / to buy tickets - DCI '15 Tour Premiere )
