Dear Eagle Regiment Families,
Congratulations, all!!
Yesterday, the marching band participated in their first competition of the season at the Falcon Sound Invitational. The band did amazing, winning Grand Champion with a score of 84.950 and breaking its previous record. Great job, everyone!! We will be competing again this Saturday at John I. Leonard, so please be sure to read the Schedule and Packing List below.
Students, we will also be taking our composite photos this Wednesday, so come during lunch or during class to take your photos.
BOA Orlando is LESS THAN 2 WEEKS away! Attendance will be especially crucial these next two weeks, 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 so you are prepared for Tuesday's rehearsal! 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:
