- To order a jacket you must meet these two requirements:
- You must have marched a minimum of two years (including this year) to earn a letter and qualify to order a letter jacket.

In Other News:
- Social Media With the season in full swing we want to remind you to please not share any video or audio recordings of the show on any social media platform. If you have already shared, we kindly ask you to remove any recordings of music or drill – this is very important. The reason behind this is the band pays for the right to perform the music composer’s work and the rights to that music are pretty narrow – they only apply to public performances of the Marching Arabians. If a social media video was found the band could be found financially liable for penalties. ISSMA not only frowns on posting videos online but we also want the judges at competitions to judge solely on the performance before them not on a video they have come across.
- We welcome you to take videos for your personal use and to post as many still photos as you wish! We are all so proud of these kids and their performances!
- Band Calendar The best way to stay up to date on Marching Band events is to check the calendar often! The online calendar is updated regularly and can be found here
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.
As always, we can’t do this without you!
