We will serving the band a “Breakfast of Champions” on November 7th before they depart and we need some help! Here is what you can do:
- Make Posters. We would love to have a poster for each student made by their families to hang in the cafeteria for their traditional “Breakfast of Champions” that morning. We would like them turned in by November 4th, if at all possible, to make sure everyone has a poster. You could also make section posters as well if you are feeling extra crafty. If you would like, you can bring photos of your kiddo and make your poster at the school during practice on October 31st from 10:00am-12:00pm.

- SHOW UP! We all did such an AWESOME send off for semi-state that it will be hard to top it – but let’s give it a try!! Please gather as many family members and friends as possible to line the parking lot to cheer on the Marching Arabians as they depart for State Finals at 9:00am! (Let’s start to gather at 8:30am) Feel free to bring posters and noise makers too! Let’s Make Some Noise!!!

An Extra Special Thank You To:
- All the parents who donated crazy socks for Semi-State – the band LOVED them!!
- All the parents who made section posters for the Semi-State Send Off!
- Terri Ginder for baking yummy cookies for the band spirit bags!
- Randy Walker for his SUPREME Hype Man Flag Skills in the stands! As well as EVERYONE who participated in the loudest and most AWESOME cheering section we’ve ever seen!
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
It takes a village, and this marching band definitely has one!
GO ARABIANS!!!
