ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

It is football game season! The band plays pregame and throughout the game at most home football games. Look below for some extra special dates this season. Please note that the game on August 30th is now an away game. The band will not have a football game that evening!

Mass Band Night - September 13th

Mass Band Night is BACK! The Marching Millers will have a band-tastic night playing the pregame show with the 7th and 8th grade band students of both West and East Middle Schools! It is a fun night and a fantastic way to showcase our marching band while recruiting some future Marching Millers! The middle school students will come over after school to rehearse with the band, enjoy band popsicles, eat a meal with their middle school/high school sections, and learn more about being a Marching Miller. We will once again feed ALL of the bands, and we could really use your help making this happen! Watch for a sign up genius to earn volunteer hours helping at the meal or providing fruit or pasta salads. We also have some donation requests we would appreciate your help with if you are able. See below for our donation list. Thanks for your help!

MASS BAND NIGHT DONATION NEEDS:

Boxes of individually packaged Little Debbie or Hostess snack cakes
Sturdy disposable paper dinner plates
12 ounce plastic cups

**Leave donations in the bin marked "Mass Band Night Donations" in the uniform closet.

Senior Night - October 4th

Senior Night: Mark your calendar now for Marching Band Senior Night at the October 4th football game. Students will walk with their families or chosen adults during the pre-game ceremony. Pictures will be taken! More details coming closer to the date.

Food and Football Games

The food committee is looking forward to another fun season of fueling up the band! We feed the band before each home football game the band performs at and on the day of the Black and Gold Invitational. Look for a menu the week of each home game posted here in the newsletter or on the band app!
