Freshmen, your FISHCAMP schedule will be different from the non-band freshmen, and that will be announced here as soon as we get it squared away. Counselors and Associate Principals will all be aware of the changes.

3. Form it up, on back to school
4. Parents are welcome to come listen and clap. I wouldn't bring lawn chairs, unless you're going to stay and have your coffee with the morning paper after we're gone. We'll be there about 20 minutes or so.
5. We'll be at the band hall ready to go home at 9:47.
