COMPETITIONS: Our first competition of the season will be held on Saturday, September 24th at Medford High School. We will need people to help move the instruments and prop on and off the field. Have no fear…. you will be given plenty of instruction on your job prior to the day of the competition. We will be sending out a sign-up genius when we have more information on how many people we need. REMEMBER: you cannot volunteer without a CORI on file. If you have not already done so, please complete the CORI form and return to Mr. DeJoy, directly to Central Office in Town Hall, or you can drop off at QMS to the attention of Frani Spivak. The CORI form can be found HERE. These kids have all worked so hard and we can’t do this without your help!

Curious about what these may be?

We invite and encourage you to join us at our meeting on Thursday 9/8 @ 6:00 in the music room at the HS to find out.

You won’t be disappointed.

APPAREL: Placing your students’ order for their show shirt and thinking you’d like one for yourself? Maybe you’d like a second shirt for your student in case your laundry gets backed up? Well hang in there. We will be launching a Marching Band Spirit apparel store soon. Keep your eyes peeled for the email with the link!!
