2023-24 Sumner HS Marching Band & Color Guard
(Updated 11/19/2023)
Sumner HS Band Program Students, Parents and Families:
I hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving Weekend in whatever ways make you happy. All of you have worked so hard this fall and done so well, you should be thankful for everything that has happened Band-wise (we certainly are!). Students, Parents, Families, EVERYONE - we are so thankful for the opportunity to share and be part of the terrific experiences we’ve had so far this year. The performances and competitions, the rehearsals (some outside in “less than perfect weather”) and the chance to see you grow as groups in such a short amount of time. All we can say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND LET’S KEEP IT UP. As you might imagine, Mrs. Carl and I are very thankful for the University of Michigan Football Team yesterday in their big game and for our UW Husky fans, congratulations on a tense Apple Cup victory as well! It’s been fantastic to have such a long and relaxing break, but now we hit the ground running for the next few weeks as we lead-up to our Holiday Break starting on December 21st - here’s the schedule for the next couple of weeks for the Sumner HS Band Program:
