Greetings Warren Band Students and Parents,
Here are some updates and reminders for Early August 2015: 1) Color Guard Car Wash Fundraiser – Wrap-up Thanks to all who came out to support the color guard car wash last Saturday (August 1)! The guard participants were able to earn more than $600 towards their marching costumes. 2) Last Band Booster Meeting – Completed The last band booster meeting was held on July 30 (Thursday) at the WTHS O’Plaine campus auditorium. Thanks to all who attended. Please review the latest band calendar for this school year, which we handed out at the meeting.
