St. George Trip Info


Hello Everyone!

It’s difficult to believe the marching season is nearing its end.  It has been an absolute pleasure to serve the band this year!  We are in need of some donated food\items to help with snacks for the remaining competitions, Halloween treat bags for band members, and a few food items to ensure we have enough to feed hungry teens. J  Please go to Charms and sign up to donate these items as soon as possible!  (If they are not up on Charms tonight, they will be shortly!)  Each band room has been equipped with a “Momma Box”.  Please have your students leave donated items inside these boxes, which will be checked regularly.
