Christmas Parade Woes

The Chamber of Commerce decided to have a night Christmas parade December 7th. Sadly, that is the same evening as the first home basketball game. The band will not be able to participate in the Christmas parade this year. Hopefully, next year the Chamber will check the high school activities calendar when scheduling the Christmas parade.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GOLDEN TORNADO BAND!

The band received a I rating in the Neewollah Parade Competition and a II rating in the Neewollah Field Show Competition. Rock on, 'Nado Band! Play that funky music!!

Neewollah Information

Neewollah is Saturday, October 27. Busses will be leaving Field Kindley High School at 9:00 am. The Golden Tornado Band is the 66th entry in the parade and the field show performance time is 2:54 pm. Friends and family who are attending the field show competition should arrive earlier for better seating, parking, and the possibility the band may perform earlier if there are cancellations.
Students are reminded to bring money for lunch and a note from parents if not riding home on the bus. Students are not allowed to ride home with anyone other than their own parents. The busses should be returning home around 4:30 pm.
A lot of hard work has gone into preparing for this competition and we hope to see all the friends and families of band members cheering for them in the audience.
