How did YOU spend YOUR Summer?

The 2012 Summer Marching Practices have wound down and.... the mission thought impossible is now complete! The students have endured Two-A-Days and many new changes for the coming year.  The freshmen can now actually march and play at the same time. The upperclassmen have stepped up into leadership roles.  Many memories have been made, much work has been done, and a lot of learning has been accomplished. And now, School Starts Monday! The Band is Ready!

THE BULLDOG BAND IS LOOKING GOOD!

This year's Band and Dance Team are all set to represent our town of McGregor in a big way.  Head Band Director, Tim Grace has proclaimed "We are off to a Great Start" for the 2012-2013 marching season! Director of the Golden Flames Dance Team, Darlene Arp says she is  very happy with the enthusiasm of all the girls.  This year's theme is "I Spy".  We encourage everyone to come out to the football games this season to see what this is all about.  You're sure to recognize some of the tunes they'll be playing from your favorite spy movies.  Please come out and support these wonderful kids.  Be a Band Booster!
