Parents/Guardians/Students,

Marching band is coming back! We are very excited to announce that we will be starting marching band at Atkins on the week of November 30th. This will be a very different marching band this year, but we’re still aiming to perform at our highest level! The marching band fee has been reduced to $200.00 (guard included) from $350.00. If you have already paid the $350.00, you may opt to roll $150.00 into next year, or you can reach out to the Arts boosters for a refund by emailing atkinsmarchingcaravan@gmail.com.

We will have one a week practices for students at the beginning. We will have Brass & Percussion on Tuesdays and Woodwinds & Color Guard on Thursdays.  All rehearsals will run from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm. Masks will be required, but we are looking into special designed masks for wind players.

If a student has a prior commitment such as sports, family event, scouts, etc., WE WILL WORK WITH YOU THIS YEAR! Please reach out so we can formulate a plan.

Our dress this year will be an issued hoodie, khaki pants (black pants for guard) and closed toed sneakers.

Please be patient as we roll out information. You should be getting regular emails moving forward. As new information comes to us, we will relay it to you.

Thank you for all you do and we are excited to get started!!
