Week 2 was another outstanding week for the Eagle Band! We have completed the learning process for the full band show and have started the learning process for the competitive show. The students hard work is really starting to show and the staff and I are all so proud of their efforts. I had a great time at the band picnic and I am so glad that I stayed DRY;-)
Congrats to the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps on their DCI World Championship. Also, congrats to our very own Eagle band members Gordon Janda(Bluecoats) and Alex Lenoux(Genesis) on an excellent drum corps season. Great job guys!! We are all looking forward to your return to the Eagle Band.
