Can't wait to see everyone at band camp!
(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 Quarter-Finals is going to be aired live in certain cinemas for one night - Thurs, August 6th. For more information on this event / to buy tickets - DCI '15 Quarter-Finals: Big, Loud & Live )
