Great job performing this afternoon at opening session! I thought everything went extremely well in what is always a very nerve wracking experience - right in front of thousands of people!
You all handled it exceptionally well.

Thank you for all of your hard work for two weeks - and ending on this performance!

We are excited about this season - and expect to keep pushing hard to the end!

See everyone Monday morning - 9th graders will get fitted for uniforms for pictures on Tuesday.

Enjoy your long weekend!!

Go Gators!
Go Golden Gator Band!

PARENT PERFORMANCE CANCELED!

Parents & Students - due to what our school weather app is showing us in regards to lightning and rain around 6 PM this evening we will NOT be having our performance.

We will be ending rehearsal at 5 PM so that we can get the truck loaded outside of any rain coming this way! Once students have their equipment loaded they are free to leave - staff will be here through 6 PM to make sure everyone is picked up - no worries if that is the time you can get here!

This is a difficult decision to make but it is made in the interest of safety of everyone and our front ensemble equipment. All of this will still have to be loaded for tomorrow’s performance!

The band WILL be doing a portion of their halftime show at our scrimmage NEXT Friday - August 7 at Memorial Stadium. We hope to see you there and show you what all they have accomplished this camp!

We apologize about any inconvenience this may cause.
