Great job at Friday's football game! Congratulations on your first performance in uniform with drill! A HUGE thank you to all the parents who helped run concessions at the football game and Wednesday's Back to School Night. We would also like to thank all the families and friends that came to support the band at Thursday's fundraiser at Fantastic Burger Grill!

We have an important week of rehearsals as we prepare for next week's home game and our first field tournament at Newport Harbor High School on Saturday, October 12th! Please make sure your student is prepared for our weekly memorization tests and is practicing drill and music at home so that we can be successful. Students need to be hydrating the day before and eating before practices.

BOOSTER MEETING WEDNESDAY
We have our monthly Booster Meeting this Wednesday (10/2) at 6 p.m. in the GHS Band Room (703). All parents are highly encouraged to attend. We'll be going over upcoming events, information, and areas where we'll need your help to be successful. Meetings are warm, welcoming, and efficient! We will need your help as we plan for our first field tournament on October 12th.

MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND NIGHT 10/25!
Spread the word! Middle School Band Night is Friday, October 25th at Gahr High School! Middle School Band Night is our 7th & 8th graders can experience what it’s like to be in a high school marching band for a Friday night football game. They’ll learn a few pep tunes and play in the stands with the band. They’ll also have front-row seats to watch our competitive field show performance. All participating students get a free t-shirt!
