Many families are still short on volunteer hours or have no volunteer hours recorded. Please be sure to check in/out using the provided QR code. If no QR code is available, please email volunteers@NoblesvilleBand.org.
Why do I put in so many hours with band? My son. Your son. Your daughter. Your child. I love contributing to something that impacts our kids the way marching band does. Competition at this level is only possible because of YOUR gift of time. What is YOUR why?

6:25pm: Line up in announcement order (I assume alphabetical).
6:30pm: Receive a rose from your senior and walk across the track as your name is announced. Line up as a group as all names are announced. Be patient...this is a large group!
6:45pm: Ceremony ends. Seniors rejoin the band. Parents return to stands.
All Marching Parents: Please plan to be in the stands early this evening (before the game) to cheer on our seniors! With fall break, we don't anticipate many people in the stands and would love your encouragement for the gigantic class of 2023!
Parent Tailgate: White Chicken Chili will be prepared ahead of time and ready to serve early!
Band Dinner: From our food coordinator, Jen Melton. Friday marks our final football meal of the season, and I want to send a special thank you to Janet York and Christy and Adam Dopps.
