Mary June Bishop

will be returning as head drum major but this year she will have an assistant.

Crystal Ware has been chosen for this position.

The band boosters

will be hosting a hotdog supper on July 25th to welcome new parents and

get back into the swing of things. The boosters always encourage parents

to bring theirlawn chairs to the practices to cheer on the kids during

rehearsals.

The boosters

are also looking for businesses who would like to help sponsor the marching

band by advertising on the back of the Marching Indian truck. If you haven't

seen the truck it is parked at the high school. This truck goes to all

the away games and competitions and it is a great way to advertise a business.

For information about this you can contact Cheryl Burchfield at 770-304-9364.

The band will

be leaving for Maryville, Tenn., July 28 for a week of band camp. The

students will be spending the week memorizing their music and learning

the drill for the new show.

This is always

a very busy week for the students. They get up early and work hard all

day but the payoff comes when they hear the applause from the crowd and

then later on in the year when they compete in competitions.

So if you live

near East Coweta High School you can sit outside in the evenings and listen

to the band or just bring your lawn chair on up to the school for a sneak

peak at the hard work going on.
