Dear Eagle Regiment Families,
And that's a wrap!
Thank you all for a successful week to end our Summer Camps!! Keep up the great work and hold yourself to the same standard expected of you EVERY rehearsal from here on out. Please don't forget that we have rehearsal this week on Tuesday and Thursday. We have a limited time together, so let's make the most of it this season!
Also, please send some encouragement to Gage, our amazing Band Captain, and wish him good luck as he competes in the DCI finals this week!
P.S. Today is the last day of our Peperoni Grill Giveback, so if you have no dinner plans, come support us! Thank you!!
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

POPS-N-PIES
We are organizing our annual Pops-N-Pies event and we need your help to make our raffle baskets extra special!
We are kindly asking for donations of items that could be included in themed raffle baskets — items you think families would love to win. If you're able to contribute something, big or small, it would be greatly appreciated!
Additionally, if you or someone you know owns or works for a business that might be willing to donate a product, service, or gift certificate, we would love to connect. Donations from businesses will be acknowledged and are a great way to support the community while getting exposure during the event.
We will be available for collection of donated items at rehearsal on Tuesday, September 2nd. We will be assembling baskets on Saturday, September 6th, so please submit donations before then.
Please note- all band members will also be receiving an assigned theme for donations by section at a later date.
Please reach out with any contributions you were able to secure or business contacts you’d like to share with Carrie Cusano at fundraising@eagleregiment.com.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support — we couldn’t do it without you!
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!
