Greetings Warren Band Students and Parents,
Here are some updates and reminders for the week of Sept 26, 2016: ** This is just an IMPORTANT REMINDER to inform everyone that we will be having band rehearsal this Wed. night (Sept 28), at the usual time and place. Treat this like any other Wed. night marching band rehearsal, except we will be on a lighted grass field until we have access to the football field. ** 1) Second Marching Band Competition - Naperville Central Marching Classic (Completed) Last Saturday (Sept 24), our marching band performed in competition and once again had their best performance so far this year. Congratulations to our color guard, who placed 3rd, our percussion (drumline and pit), who also placed 3rd, and our entire marching band, who placed 8th overall (out of all 24 bands competing)! Less than 2 points separated the band from 5th place overall. This is another great improvement to our marching band competition season. Keep up the good work so we can improve even more and hopefully win some awards at the University of Illinois championships! 2) Wednesday Night Band Practice (THIS WEDNESDAY - SEPT 28!!)
