II.)                   Plans for 2022-23 include the annual marching band retreat and parade to the dells. This overnight trip to the Dells is a culture building experience including an overnight stay at the Kalahari Resort, with full use of the facilities, a breakfast buffet at the World famous “Paul Bunyan’s” restaurant and a pizza party/dinner at Saurento’s.

This is a type of student bank account held through the boosters and the activity office.  Funds are reserved for the student to apply toward any approved band related expense or fee.  Account balances may be passed down to younger siblings as they come into the high school band.
