LAST SUMMER REHEARSAL, August 7th, 6-9pm. Uniform

Dear Cibola
Band Community,
I am excited
about our band program and the direction that we are going! Each
student should have their printed marching sheet music, CD of the
show music, and summer calendar. Individual student drill coordinates
will be assigned in June. Each student is expected to have the show
music memorized and a good portion of the marching drill learned
prior to July 16 band camp.
To assist students
in being prepared for summer band camp I have scheduled the following
summer band activities. Weekly rehearsals are required unless student
is out of town. Please plan to arrange work schedules and other
in town activities around our rehearsal schedule.
