Hello Mav Band and Guard Family!

Oh, my goodness! This past Saturday was one for the ages! Thank you to everyone for volunteering at the Bands of America show and providing thousands of band students and supporters with a world-class experience! I have heard from students, parents, and directors from many programs, along with the Music For All staff and judges, and they only have effusive praise for the parents and students of the McNeil Band program. Once again, YOU set the standard in hospitality and organization when hosting these events around the country.

Not only is this contest important for the marching band activity, but it is vital to our band booster organization as our biggest one-day fundraiser. The final numbers will come in soon, but we did VERY well financially. In fact, this may end up being the most successful year to date! I know it took thousands of volunteer hours from hundreds of you, but I would like to specifically thank Kelli Buescher for taking the lead and organizing everything on our end over the last several weeks! 👏👏👏

We are entering our own competition season, so please stay informed via our calendar on www.mcneilband.org and through this week's announcements. Go Mavs!

Sincerely,

Jason Dimiceli
