Final Week of Band Camp!
Rams,
We have reached the final week of summer band camp. Yeah! Please read over the schedule carefully (click here: JMHS Weekly Schedule 8-13- 8-17) because it is going to be a busy week. Please make every effort to make our first band booster meeting this Tuesday, August 14th at 7:00 pm in the band hall. As part of our upcoming mattress fundraiser, the company we are working with is donating $5 to the Marshall band boosters for every parent in attendance. This is an easy opportunity to support our program by sharing a few minutes of your time. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday and Go Rams!
