What you need to know this week:

Friday-Away Game at Mariemont. Report time is 5:30. Students will lead the trailer and change into uniforms. We will depart on 2 buses by 5:45. We will parade into the stadium. The Marching Rockets will only be performing in the stands. Students will have a chance to visit the concession stand. Band Boosters will provide water.

Parents: Please wait in a parking spot as the trailer and 4 busses are trying to unload in a congested area. Students should wait near the band room until their ride arrives.

The band boosters staff the concession stands for CNE athletic competitions. Band students can generate trip scholarship by working the concession stand or having family and friends work for them in the concessions stand. Trip scholarship may be used for band camp fees, band shoes, drama cast fees and 2026 Florida tour payments.

Tuesday, September 16 $300 Florida Tour Deposit Due
Students should sign up for the Music Department Florida Tour. A $300 Deposit and Enrollment form is due Tuesday, September 16. The trip packet can be found here.

What you need to start planning for next week:

Tuesday- Nite Band Practice 5:30-8:00
Friday-Away game at MVCA

ARRIVAL and DISMISSAL: Students should be dropped off and picked by the band room door at the back of the school. I try my best to be at every band event 30 minutes before the report time to open the door. STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE THE SCHOOL BUILDING BEFORE MR. MOORE, MR. STENGER, MS. MACLEOD, or MS. LEIMAN ARRIVE.

Please leave the first four spots by the building available for band director parking.
We share this area with the football team, so please be aware when picking up and dropping off.
During football games, the buses and trailers will need a path to this area. Please wait in a parking space.
Students must wait in the area outside the band room for pick up. I don't want to leave anyone unsupervised. If you anticipate being more than 15 minutes late, it would be helpful to make other arrangements for your child's transportation.They should always wait near the firelane by the band room so Mr. Moore knows who is still waiting for a ride.

First Week of School

8/12/2025

Rocket Fans:

It is time to start the school year. I hope to see many band students at the Open House tonight. There is no night band this week.

Upcoming dates:
Tuesday, August 19       Night Band                   5:30-8:00PM
Friday, August 22       Football at Mariemont           5:30 Report
Tuesday, August 26       Night Band                   5:30-8:00PM
Friday, August 29      Football at MVCA               5:30 Report
Tuesday, September 2   Night Band                   5:30-8:00PM
Friday, September 5       Home Football vs. Holy Cross       5:30 Report
Saturday, September 6    Ford Fundraiser

What you need to know this week:

There is no Nite Band this week due to the Open House.

The Concession sign up sheet is in the band room
We will have the opportunity to sign up for the Ford test drive fundraiser.
Also-I could really use a few more 6th graders in the beginning band. We have instruments for them to use. If you know any 6th graders, send them my way.

Students return on Thursday.

The band boosters staff the concession stands for CNE athletic competitions. Band students can generate trip scholarship by working the concession stand or having family and friends work for them in the concessions stand. Trip scholarship may be used for band camp fees, band shoes, drama cast fees and 2026 Florida tour payments. We have several concession openings this week and next week that need filled-several spots open for Friday Night football and Saturday Soccer. 2025 Fall Concession Spreadsheet Please email Ms. Leiman or Mr. Moore to sign up.

The band boosters have a Drive 4 UR Community Event on Saturday, September 6 from 10-2 on the CNE Campus. You can help the band boosters earn funds for instruments and uniforms by signing up to test drive a car at the event and completing a post event survey. You can sign up to support the Marching Rockets through this link.

What you need to start planning for next week:

Tuesday- Nite Band Practice 5:30-8:00
Friday-Away game at Mariemont

Please leave the first four spots by the building available for band director parking.
We share this area with the football team, so please be aware when picking up and dropping off.
During football games, the buses and trailers will need a path to this area. Please wait in a parking space.
Students must wait in the area outside the band room for pick up. I don't want to leave anyone unsupervised. If you anticipate being more than 15 minutes late, it would be helpful to make other arrangements for your child's transportation.They should always wait near the firelane by the band room so Mr. Moore knows who is still waiting for a ride.

Uniforms- We will fit uniforms at the beginning of band camp.

We could use some parents to help with uniform fittings and lunch.

ARRIVAL and DISMISSAL: Students should be dropped off and picked by the band room door at the back of the school. I try my best to be at every band event 30 minutes before the report time to open the door. STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE THE SCHOOL BUILDING BEFORE MR. MOORE, MR. STENGER, MS. MACLEOD, or MS. LEIMAN ARRIVE. Band camp week is a good chance to figure out who lives near each other so car pools can be arranged.

Please leave the first four spots by the building available for band director parking.
We share this area with the football team, so please be aware when picking up and dropping off.
During football games, the buses and trailers will need a path to this area. Please wait in a parking space.
Students must wait in the area outside the band room for pick up. I don't want to leave anyone unsupervised. If you anticipate being more than 15 minutes late, it would be helpful to make other arrangements for your child's transportation.They should always wait near the firelane by the band room so Mr. Moore knows who is still waiting for a ride.
If you think you are the last one getting picked up, please let the directors know you are the last one leaving.

-Students should not be wandering around the school. We have limited access to the band room, choir room, and a designated restroom.

-Band members should always arrive at practice planning on working outside in athletic shoes for marching with shorts and t-shirt. CNE marching rockets do not rehearse in barefeet or flipflops.

-CNE Band Members should have a natural hair color(does not have to be their own), and long hair should be worn up for performances. If your hair touches the back of your uniform jacket, it should be worn up.

-Lastly, it is very important that students eat properly, rest effectively and hydrate properly. The CNE Marching Rockets work hard to prepare for our performances. We are only as strong as our weakest member, and you aren't helping anyone by being tired or sick and sitting on the sideline. Be prepared to work hard.

Uniforms
Please check your house and car trunks for band uniforms and uniform pieces. We are missing these entire uniforms and many other people are missing pieces.
