  • Home Show Update / Mansfield Showcase
    • Unfortunately, due to low participation, we will need to cancel the home show.

    • Uniform Collection
      • We will start collecting marching and color guard uniforms for senior and juniors.  By doing this, we hope to get a greater return and not have to be looking for uniforms during band camp.
      1. Grant Update – $7,106.45
      • Received word from the Town of Mansfield for an approved grant in the amount of $7,106.45.  Thought it would be maybe a few thousand but we were very happy with the amount.  Huge thank you to Craig for filling out all the paperwork necessary to apply for the grant.  Mr. DeJoy will think about where the money would be needed the most.
      1. Rehearse-A-Thon – February 18th
      • Rehears-A-Thon is an all day rehearsal with a sneak peak of the show at the end of the day.  Guard will be holding their own on a different day.  We will be serving lunch & dinner to the students.  A sign-up genius will be created and sent out for donation of food and help with set up and clean up.

      Next Meeting:  Thurs. February 2 @ 6:00pm
