8 August 2021
Eagle Regiment Family,
Happy Sunday! We had such an incredible time and turnout last night for our Bowling Party! Thank you to all those behind the scenes for making this possible for the Program.
Band Camp 2 came to a close on Friday. The Students are half way through learning the Drill of the Opener, have rehearsed the music to the Intro, Opener, and Ballad of our Show, Très Opulent. They also began learning music for the Football Games, the Color Guard has learned a Stage Show, the Drum Line has learned Cadences, and all the students have engaged in some much needed team building/bonding sessions. We are so proud of all of our Students!
