Cumberland Bands Newsletter – 9/8/22

Hello awesome band people!

The first home varsity football game is TOMORROW! Make sure your marching band child has black socks that cover the lower calf.

All marching band members will stay after school, rehearse until about 5pm, eat, dress, then go down to the stadium for the game. Kickoff is 7:pm. Games usually end around 9-ish. I will send a text as soon as the game is over, and you can pick up your child at the band room about 20 minutes later.
