Dear Eagle Regiment Families,
We hope everyone had a great first week of school! The marching band has made significant progress during practices, and the show is starting to come together. However, we still need everyone's continued effort, especially outside of rehearsal, so let’s keep up the great work!
This Thursday, we will be playing at our first Football Game of the season!!
Students, please wear your Burgundy Spirit Shirt, Black Shorts, Black Shoes, and an Eagle Regiment Hat. Don't forget your stand tunes, flip folder, and lyre. You will not be able to leave on Thursday before the game, so please pack dinner! Chef Kurth is also going to offer an option to order a Chipotle-style bowl for $5. The order form will come out soon.
We will also be performing our show at Halftime, so please treat every run on Tuesday as if it were the real deal!!
DATES FOR NEXT YEAR'S BAND CAMPS ARE UP ON OUR CALENDAR!! ***Please note that Band Camps 2 and 3 are subject to the Broward County School's approval.***
Thank you!!
Please be sure to read ALL of the Announcements and Schedules:
ANNOUNCEMENTS
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
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.
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 the 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!
