Greetings, Tigers!
Due to the cancellation of marching band events throughout Illinois, our marching band will not travel or compete this fall. However, we will move forward with band camp beginning on August 3rd. I’m meeting this week with band staff and our senior class to determine goals for this unique marching season. Additionally, I’ll be meeting with our school administration this week to work on the logistics of keeping our students safe and healthy through rehearsals. This Friday, I will send out information on what the rehearsal process will look like to help get students prepared for rehearsals.
This may sound like unfortunate news, but at least we still have the opportunity to collaborate and work on our performance skills. We will continue to strive towards performance opportunities to showcase to our community. Again, band camp dates will stay the same and I will send more information to you later this week.
I’m looking forward to being able to see everyone again very soon!
-Mr. Hatcher
