The 2013 Summer Band Calendar is posted and can be found HERE.
Please note that due to a change in the date of the Monongalia County Fair Parade, we had to change the start date and time for band camp from what it has been in the past.
On Monday, July 29, we will now have a full band rehearsal at UHS which will include parade-only marchers. We will also take the group picture.
We will not report to Camp Muffly at all on this date.
Please plan accordingly.
