Hello everyone! Our Alumni Night will be September 25th! If you are interested in participating, please sign up no later than the 16th, so we can make sure we have instruments to lend out if needed!

Our marchers stay after school on Fridays during the season so they can be the most prepared they can be for their performances, which means they also need fed! While we have some of our games covered with meals already, we still have a few slots open.
If you’ve been looking for a chance to support the band, volunteer to bring a meal! Whether it’s your favorite crockpot recipe or a few pizzas! Reach out to Ms. Clayton about the dates that are open.

You can get a small glimpse of us here! So proud of our kids and the hard work they’ve put into their show this summer!

About a dozen marching bands entertained the crowd at the Allen County Fair during the annual Kewpee Showcase of Bands, giving students a chance to showcase their hard work ahead

Congratulations to our Color Guard team for their amazing performance at the Allen County Fair Competition! 🏆🎶🎶

Hello everyone. After extensive talks with other band directors participating in the parade, our staff, and admin, we have come to the decision to not participate in the Allen County Fair Parade due to the inclement weather.

With half of our band carrying either a woodwind instrument or a flag, and being unable to put away instruments until the end of the parade, we don’t want to risk any potential damage that could occur to the flags, or the cork and pads on our woodwind instruments.

This was the first prank pulled on Ms. Clayton at Band Campalooza! The seniors bought and distributed noise makers to all of our students and waited until dinner to strike!

Yesterday was our annual Band Campalooza, where our students stay overnight at school from 7pm until 7am! During this time we march, work on music, and play different games as a way to foster community within our ensemble! 🎶🎶
