Welcome

Welcome to my 1st post to the Marching Charger Blog.

Allow me to begin by thanking David Butts for his assistance and taking leadership in getting us started. It is appreciated more then he knows.

I look forward to this being a great communication tool for all Band Students and Boosters. We have a wonderful group of kids and are blessed to have a great leader like Mr. C.

Please feel free to post positive comments and post any important news for the upcoming Marching Charger Band, Concert Band or Jazz Band. This will be fun and informative!!

Thanks to all of you who have worked so hard to make our band and band boosters so wonderful.
