As we prepare for our final Waterloo, IL Municipal Band concert tomorrow night, we would like to thank Triada Advisors for sponsoring last week's treats from Oh Sugar Ice & Cream.

Thank you so much for supporting our Waterloo Bulldog Bands and our community of musicians as they continue to bring joy to our town!

The power of community! Thank you to all of our parent volunteers for all they do!! (Props, food, uniforms, chaperones, sewing, and more that we could ever imagine!)

It's not too late to get involved - email us at [email protected] if you are a current band parent that can lend a hand. We have lots of different ways to give back!

We'd like to take a moment to shout out our incredible prop team - these folks have been helping design, cut, and bring our visions for DIS/ARRAY to life! A huge shout to Justin C for taking the lead and all of the folks who have helped out.

Let's also not forget that they've refurbished our entire old trailer, breathed new life into our biggest drum major podium, outfitted the trailer with more gadgets than we could imagine, and just done so much in general. The band does not run without all of YOU and we appreciate you so much.

I mean, just look at how excited Camden M is in the background! 😂

Were you able to interact with some of our amazing student Waterloo Bulldog Bands musicians from our Flute Section last week? Or one of their friends? Perhaps you purchased a raffle ticket for an opportunity to conduct the Municipal Band from them! Either way, thank you for supporting them!

Don't forget to check the schedule of games and performances on the Band's page tagged above! We'd love to see you there!

As we get ready for another amazing night of music in the square, we'd like to thank our sponsors for this month, starting with State Bank of Waterloo from the evening of August 4th!

Thank you for not only sponsoring the treats from Oh Sugar Ice & Cream, but supporting the Waterloo, IL Municipal Band, and our Waterloo Bulldog Bands!

Today some WBPO parents are putting some sweat equity into the band! Props, podiums, knick knacks oh my! A huge thanks to our band parent crew (some not pictured and Mr. & Mrs. Smith!) for their help today!!

The season is just starting - if you're a current band parent and want to help with some muscle, some spray paint, or more the prop and equipment crew is an awesome way to give back to the band program!
