Welcome to BANDTOBER! It is an extra exciting month, beginning with a very important evening Friday and our next contest Saturday. Get set for and exciting leg of the season!
Senior Night is Friday, October 4th. This special evening celebrates the senior marchers and families. This is always such a bittersweet night for all of us. We really love our seniors AND their families. See below for info and watch the band app for updates this week!
Have you checked out the raffle pot lately? It is HOT!!! The raffle drawing is October 10th - NEXT WEEK!!! Share the raffle posts on your social media and share this link for people to request online tickets. The canceled parade and rescheduled homecoming game means the raffle committee really needs our help spreading the word in this final stretch! Plus, who couldn't use half of this big pot? These tickets sell themselves! Please share the links and posts!

50/50 Raffle
Marching Miller Family, we need you! The drawing is fast approaching. We only have a few days left before we draw the winning numbers, and we need your help for this final push.
The money raised through the 50/50 raffle does so much to help our program, and we know that many of you have your volunteer hours, but we would so appreciate a bit more of your time. We have some events coming that could really help us out where Mother Nature let us down. With the cancellation of the parade and the rescheduling of the homecoming game, we lost some great selling outcomes.Â
Check out the SignUp Genius for some fun events that could use your help. Keep up the sales, and let's push this pot past last year's. Right now, we are sitting at $38,640, putting us behind last year by several thousand. We can do this!
Senior Night
Friday, October 4th we will celebrate our seniors! These students are true anchors of our program, and we really enjoy celebrating them each year. They enjoy some special dinner privileges, including cutting the line and special seating at the meal and will be recognized during pregame with their families.
Senior parent? Please make sure your student returns their form (received in email from Mr. Thornbury) by Wednesday. Plan to meet in the south end zone and check in with Gretchen Horne for pictures by 5:45.
