Band Camp is off to a great start! The whole show is on the field and we have plenty more rehearsal before our Preview Show at noon on Friday. We will start on Wednesday at the Practice Field at 8:30 AM, and Freshmen Uniform Fittings for students with last names starting with A through L are tomorrow in the High School Multipurpose Room.
We are also pleased to announce Donatos' support for our Band Boosters with their Donato Doughnations. The Shaker Donatos on Van Aken will be "doughnating" 20% of sales on during designated hours during our marching band season and band concerts. Look for more details to come soon. In the meantime, please support Donatos. Their grand opening at their new Van Aken location (20116 Van Aken) is today, August 16!
