Black Knights Marching Band

All trumpet, trunbone and tuba players should attend.

We will be dismantling the tree stands, cleaning the trailer and packing everything away this Saturday 1/7 starting at 9am. We are looking for as many volunteers as possible to help with these tasks. The more people we have, the faster it will go. Thank you!

Our Winter Concert will be held on Wednesday 12/21 at 7pm. All band members should report to the band room at 6pm.

The dress code is as follows:

Boys: Suit or dress pants, button down shirt and a blazer. A tie and dress shoes are required.

Girls: Dress nice for the concert. No jeans or UGGS. Dresses and skirts are allowed, but the length must be below the knee.

***********NO DENIM ALLOWED AT ALL***************

Please spread the word about our concert to all your family and friends! We hope to see you there!

Starting next week, one of our band programs biggest fundraisers will kickoff...the Christmas tree sale!

We are in desperate need of volunteers for this Saturday 11/19 to help prepare the lot for tree delivery. We will be meeting in the tree lot which is located in the back of the student parking lot this Saturday at 10am. If you can help and have a cordless drill and a ladder, we need you!

Auditions will take place this Saturday 11/19 from 2-5p in the band room. If your child is interested in joining winter percussion they must attend the auditions. If you have any questions please contact George Beratis at gberatis@ci.stamford.ct.us

Many thanks to all volunteers who helped make Knight Music 2011 such a success: current and past band parents, families, friends, staff and community. Knight Music 2011 was the largest competition hosted by the SHS Band, requiring a tremendous group effort by all. We couldn't have done it without your hard work and dedication!
