Percussion Parents mark your calendars. Our new Percussion Director, Celeena Corbin would like to have a "meet n chat" with percussion parents on Friday evening July 11th, 6:30 pm at Indio Brewing in Sugar Hill. This will be informal and similar to our monthly Parent's Night Out evenings. Come meet Ms Corbin, ask your questions and welcome her to the family.
Percussion Parents, use the order form to secure your percussion parent jersey. Our jerseys will be the same design as the kids' but will say Percussion Parent on the back. Add your kid's graduation year or leave it blank. Please order ASAP. Next order won't happen until Indoor Percussion season. Percussion Parent Order Form

This is a casual, drop in type of event where everyone comes as they are and spends time with friends. 9th Grade parents, this is a great way to meet other parents with students in the Marching Band. We look forward to seeing you all there!
Meals to Missions Fundraiser
Don't forget about our Meals to Missions fundraiser! We are just past $12,500, but we will need the support of the entire community to reach our goal of $80,000! Parents and students alike, please reach out to your neighbors, coworkers, church, and community contacts, as well as social media, to spread the word. Shout out to our top 5 fundraising students as of today - Anneliese S, Emma K, Robert B, Kevin C, and Chris M! We are only a few dollars ahead of the football team, let's keep the friendly competition going to stay on top!
Our next big in-person event will be our Meals to Missions Meal Packing Party, hosted during Band Camp on 7/17 from 12pm-3pm. Band and Football students will come together with friends, parents, staff, community leaders and more to pack 15,000 meals to send to hungry families across the Southeast. We need all hands on deck! There are volunteer slots on the BoosterHub calendar if you are available to come support our efforts to give back to those less fortunate. Check out this video that talks more about the impact Lanier will have!
