Dear Eagle Regiment Families,

Hope everyone had a great week-long break and is ready for Band Camp 3!

We have been making significant progress so far, but you know just as well as I do that this is only the start. As the season continues, keep showing up and pushing for the same level of excellence — end this year knowing you did everything you could.

Please check tonight to see that you have everything you need and get a good night’s sleep. We’ll see you all in "red, white, and bloo" for ‘Merica Monday tomorrow!

Thank you, everyone, and let’s have an amazing week:))

Please be sure to read ALL of the Announcements and Schedules:

ANNOUNCEMENTS

General Attendance

Please ensure to follow the attendance policy and email all absence requests to Mr. Napoles and the office managers at attendance@eagleregiment.com..

CG Attendance

Color Guard Parents and Students: As a reminder, all Colorguard attendance absences must be reported using the STUDENT ABSENCE REQUEST FORM. Please note that for an absence to be considered excused, it must meet the criteria outlined in the syllabus/handbook.

Submitting the form does not automatically excuse the absence—it simply notifies staff and begins the review process.

Thank you for your attention and commitment to the success of the Eagle Regiment Color Guard!

Important Reminder: NO POSTING

MARCHING BAND PERFORMANCES ONLINE

This is a friendly reminder that due to copyright restrictions, posting videos of our Marching Band Show on social media and/or YouTube is strictly prohibited. Please ensure any videos you take are only posted on the Band App private page until further notice.

Thank you for helping us honor these guidelines and supporting our program responsibly. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We're excited to announce this year's Spirit Week!! (Will take place during Band Camp 3 from July 28- August 1)

Above, we’ve listed the daily themes so everyone can start planning their outfits now and be ready to show off their Regiment spirit during Band Camp 3!

It goes without saying, but please remember to still show up in practice-appropriate clothing, e.g., no flip flops, jeans, Converse, etc. If you're not sure, ask!

Pepperoni Grill in Coral Springs is giving us an awesome opportunity by offering a Week-Long Giveback!!

Our Giveback will be Monday, July 28- Sunday, Aug 3. During this time, if someone mentions Stoneman Douglas Marching Band when ordering their meal, a portion of the sales will be donated back to our program.

Please bring your friends and family to come and support our program!

SAVE THE DATE!!

The Eagle Regiment Family Picnic will take place on Saturday, August 9, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at the Pine Trails Park Amphitheater.

All Eagle Regiment members and their families are invited to attend this free event as we celebrate the beginning of a brand-new season. Come out and enjoy a fun-filled evening with music, games, and a variety of delicious food options from local food trucks. We’ll have tasty offerings from Tria De Nori Pizzarria, Sizzle’n Fry, Food Madness, and Kona Ice.

This picnic is a great opportunity to relax, connect with other members of the Eagle Regiment family, and build excitement for the season ahead. We hope to see you there for a night of great food, fun, and community!
