Glenn Band News - Week of 5/13
Announcement for the week of 5/13 - 5/18
Hello, Glenn Band Fans!
As we near the end of our time together this year, it was wonderful to spend a few more precious hours together at our 2024 Band Banquet. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the event, and to Mrs. Ortiz & Mrs. Hernandez for all of your help organizing the banquet. It was nice to have another "Glenn Personal Record" at the end of our year with this banquet, which was the first time we have hosted our band banquet off-campus.
Congratulations to all of our GHS Percussion students (and to all of our indoor percussion members) on your “Day of Percussion” Concert on Saturday!
One more reminder - the band program does not slow down in these last two weeks. We have events all the way through the final day of school and graduation, so please check the Band Calendar for upcoming events. We have also recently updated the calendar to include anticipated fall marching band shows and football games for the 2024 season for your preliminary planning.
Thank you for reading all of our newsletters this year. It has been a joy bringing good news and "GPRs" to all of you this year!
Musically Yours,
The Glenn Band Staff

"GPRs" (Glenn Personal Records)
GPRs are a way to track of progress that the Grizzly Band is making every week. We don't get a chance to tell you about the little "PRs" that are being set all the time in our band program, and these little details go a long way. After all, "excellence is in the details"!
GPRs this week:
BANQUET @ REUNION RANCH: THANK YOU!
One more thank you to everyone who attended our banquet at Reunion Ranch last Wednesday. This was our first banquet in a proper hall, and it was a very special evening!
