Hello Everyone,

This Friday is our Homecoming football game! Due to the Homecoming festivities during halftime, the band will perform after the football game instead. This will also be our final home football game of the season. Brass and Woodwinds will be providing third-quarter snacks. We have plenty of chips, but any additional snack donations would be gratefully appreciated. Fivay HS Band will be joining us for the game.

Looking ahead, next Saturday October 24th is our big event as we travel to River Ridge High School for our MPA marching band performance. We will meet at Hudson HS at 9am to have our final rehearsal and our performance time will be 3:30pm. We should be back around 8:30pm. Next week I’ll send out a detailed itinerary for this very special day.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping make this a successful marching season. Let’s finish strong!

Have a great day!

This week was a literal washout when it came to learning new sets on the field, putting us at a disadvantage with our upcoming MPA in just two weeks. To make up for lost time, the overwhelming majority of the band voted to hold a make-up rehearsal this Monday, October 12, from 10am till 12:30pm at Hudson High School.

This rehearsal is important so we can complete our show and be fully prepared for MPA. We really need everyone there! If your student needs transportation, please reply to this email, and we’ll coordinate with our booster parents to help arrange a rice.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment. Let’s work together to finish our show strong!

Thank you, Senior Parents, for being at last Friday’s game and helping make Senior Night so incredible special. Your presence and support meant the world to them. Thank you for helping create such a special memory for our seniors! A big thank you to our Brass and Woodwind families for providing the third-quarter snacks! As we enter the final month of marching season, we are in need of more donated bottles of water. Any donation will help tremendously and is greatly appreciated!

This Saturday, we have Lions’ Pride! It’s always a fun and exciting day for the band to compete, perform, and watch other bands take the field. For more information, please see the details below.

Lions Pride – October 3 at King High School 6815 N. 56th Street Tampa, FL 33610
