The Marching Cougars will participate in these competitions in 2010:
Please attend these performances and cheer on the band - your students need your support! You are also needed to help chaperone these trips and help with the pit crew. If you want to help, please fill out the Volunteer Form or contact Deb Norton. Your participation is vital to the success of the Marching Cougars! The Cougar Marching Band has achieved a Superior rating at the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association (VBODA) State Marching Festival (States) 16 times. Superior is the highest honor awarded and is necessary to achieve the status of State Honor Band. (Honor Band status requires the Symphonic Band to also achieve a Superior Rating at the VBODA Concert Festival in the Spring.) Each year the Marching Cougars participate in several competitions to prepare for States. While a lot of hard work goes into this preparation and while the students are serious about their performance, these events are a fun activity for the students as they travel on charter buses to the competitions. The competitions are always on Saturdays and you should not plan any activities that day as departure and performance times for the shows vary from week to week. The time schedule is typically posted at the beginning of the week. |
