Meetings for 2010 Marching Band Season

It’s coming fast! The 2010 Season for the Lincoln Marching Band is quickly arriving. In preparation for the new season, all new members and veterans are required to attend one of the two upcoming mandatory meetings in March. You will receive general information, payment information, schedules and the required forms.

New Members Meeting: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 @ 7:00 PM in the Lincoln Auditorium

Veterans Meeting: Thursday, March 4, 2010 @ 7:00 PM in the Lincoln Auditorium

It is critical you attend one of these meetings.

If you are unable to attend your specified meeting, you may go to the other. If you are unable to attend either, you must arrange a private meeting with the Carlsons. You can contact the band department at (605) 367-7895.

Please understand that once you handed in your signed formed, you’ve made a commitment to be in the Lincoln Marching Band. It hurts us as a whole even if a single person drops out. We want you in the band, but we need you there too! Please make more than 100% sure you’ll be able to commit to the Band before handing in your forms!
