McNeil Band Hosting TCGC Winterguard Show on February 4
The Texas Colorguard Circuit contest that will be hosted by us is fast approaching. We currently have 65 groups participating in the event which will run from 10:00 am until 10:00 pm. We are in need of as many volunteers as we can get to help run this event and everyone (including students) can sign up through our Charms Office Calendar. Please do this ASAP so we can organize volunteer placement and see where we might need additional help.
We are fortunate to once again be awarded this event (and big fundraising opportunity) from TCGC. It is important that we have a successful show to hopefully secure this event for the future and to assist in meeting the budget demands of the McNeil, Deerpark and Cedar Valley band programs. This is our biggest fundraiser of the spring semester and will require the assistance of many of our parents and students to make this fun and exciting for everyone. Please help out in anyway you can, for however long (or short) you can. Every volunteer hour is greatly appreciated.
