It is Band Show Week! The Marching Rockets are on the road this week to support our CNE Rockets as they take on the Bulldogs of Batavia. We worked really hard last week and didn’t get to show it off.
Friday- Rehearsal starts at 5:30 on the game field. We will change into uniforms and load the trailer by 6:10. Students should eat before they arrive. They will have a break during 3rd quarter to visit the restroom and concession stand.
The CNE Band uniform includes the student providing long black socks, blue band shirt, and long hair tied up and tucked into the band hat. There are quite a few members that still owe for their band shoes-$25.00 payable to CNE Band Boosters.
We should arrive home around 10:00
