Congratulations to the Marching Arabians for their performance at Brownsburg! They not only earned a 1st place finish in their class, but also Best Music, Best Visual and Best General Effect. We are all so proud of them for their efforts!! These invitationals are a great opportunity to build confidence and experience as we move into the competition season. There is still work to be done, but the Marching Arabians are on their way to a great season!

An Extra Special Thank You To:
- Heather Tannas for all of her many, many hours of dedicated work making sure every student has a uniform that fits and that all are readily available on performance days.
- Our amazing uniform team – the kids looked AWESOME!
- Kristen Young and the food/serving team for preparing and serving over 150 and snacks and dinners on Saturday.
- Cassie Rummel for this week’s spirit treats! The kids loved them and we appreciate your efforts.
- Everyone who showed up to help in any way this past week. We needed all of you!
- Tim Cline and the prop crew for all your hard work!
- Jeremy Kauffman and our transportation team for making sure our props/instruments arrived at the right place and the right time.
We appreciate all of your hard work and your time donated to the band!
It takes the help of many, MANY family members and friends to successfully put on each performance. With teams for props, food, bus chaperones, pit crew, spirit team & transportation (just to name a few) there is a place for everyone to pitch in and be involved. Thank you for all you do to help our students and the band program. Please make sure you get those background check forms completed and sent to phbandvol@gmail.com. As always, we can’t do this without your help.
