It's incredible, last year we were the largest competetive band on Long Island with 138, and now we are getting even larger! We are planning on having the band be between 150 and 180 members depending upon how many people sign up. It is truly remarkable, while most bands are dwindling in size, we are growing! As band members we are totally into it, love the marching and music as well as the social aspects of this incredible activity. It gives us all a chance to work together towards "Being Great"!
Now all the wind parts are online to be downloaded as pdf files. The percussion parts can be picked up at the night rehearsals. I will start the heavy middle school recruiting after the February break.
The pep band performed at a game earlier in the year and will be performing at the televised basketball game on Monday, February 11th. My wife's baby's birth is planned for that day so I won't be there, unless Olivia comes early.
Pep band members are chosen by the Band President and myself, they have to purchase a tee shirt for $15 and come to the two to five events we play throughout the year. Last year we played two times. We may play up to five events depending upon the year.
The Florida trip is in full swing. If you have any questions about it e-mail Mr. Pilnick or Mr. Coffey. I will not be going due to the birth of our baby, however they will be running it. This is a great trip and all of the itinerary items are now online.
