Knight of Sound – that’s a Wrap! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Thank you to my Committee Chairs, and to each and every one of you for your support and the Knight of Sound. It couldn’t have happened without the volunteers who streamed through Crawford Stadium yesterday! It was great to see and work with so many familiar faces, but even better to see SO MANY new Marching Knights families helping out. All OF YOU made the Knight of Sound a success.
Jennifer Karpf
Chairperson, Knight of Sound

VIDEO REMINDERS:
As we approach the Marching Band Season in August I would like to remind everyone we can’t put video’s on Social Media of the Show – specifically because we purchase the rights to use the music in these programs and any posting of the music on Social Media can cause these programs to incur fines.
PHOTOS WANTED:
Remember as Band Camp approaches – TAKE PICTURES!!
