Attention all Alumni of Van Buren Bands!!
From Band Director Mike Procyk:
Please spread this link to everyone. I have limited reach so please spread the word as best you can.
We are inviting Black Knight marching band alumni to join us for Homecoming on Friday, Oct. 14th.
We will have VERY limited instruments to share, particularly drums and sousaphones. Everyone should see if they can borrow one from another school or their college. I will do my best to get an instrument for everyone but I cannot guarantee it. Please do what you can to get an instrument to bring.
I would like all alumni to register by Tuesday Oct 11. Alumni should plan on being at the school for rehearsal beginning at 5:30 that evening.
