Sent 3/23/2025, 6:20 PM.

I hope everyone was able to have a restful Spring Break.  It was well-deserved, as you've all been working so hard.

Only a couple of months left of school!  And we've still got plenty of things going on...  This week we have a mandatory spring trip meeting and our annual Winter Guard Invitational.

Let's dig into what I have for this week.

What's in this newsletter?

Here's what I have for you all this week:

Now on to the details...

Spring Trip Meeting

We have a lot to cover regarding this year's spring trip.  Going to Washington D.C. brings with it a number of logistical issues and requires us all to be on the same page.  So in order to bring us all up today, we are having a mandatory meeting in the Eldorado PAC this Thursday, 3/27 at 6:30 PM.

Come and hear all you need to know to have a successful trip.  JP, our trip coordinator, will be filling us in on all the details, including flight requirements, packing lists, travel instructions, and more.

Please make sure at least one parent/guardian is in attendance, and students should be there as well, if at all possible, to hear things first hand.  And don't forget to bring any questions you may have!  See you on Thursday.

Have a great week!

Go Eagles!

We are hosting this huge event on Saturday! A shift sign-up sheet will be posted this week, so be on the lookout. We need all hands on deck to make this a successful event.
