Dear Eagle Regiment Families,
Congratulations, all!!
Yesterday, the marching band participated in their second competition of the season at the Lancer Jamboree. The band did amazing, taking Best in Class in all judging categories and winning Grand Champion with a score of 87.70.
We have made it to BOA Orlando Week! Attendance will be especially crucial this week, so plan to attend all rehearsals. In the case that you can't deconflict your schedules, students should still try to attend a portion of rehearsal— some is always better than none.
Students, please review UDB, choreo, music, and your marching technique as well as all rehearsal videos posted so you are prepared for all rehearsals! Time is running out, so from here on out, make the most of each remaining rehearsal and ensure that you end this season without any regrets.
Thank you, and let's have an amazing week! :))
Please be sure to read ALL of the Announcements and Schedules:
