1st Competition is today!

Today, September 25 is our first competition of the season. The location is at Irmo High School and a link to the information page is http://www.mavband.com/irmocompetition.pdf. We are hoping for a strong showing today and that out supporters will show up in mass and wear their Mavband T-s and sit together as we route on our band.

In the Media News today, our Media Team Chairman - Gil Searcy - has put up some impressive portraits of our students. Do you see  your kid? If not, send an email to Gil and he will set you up.

You can see Gil's work on our Flickr Page!

That's all for today, see you in Irmo!

Mavband Season is underway!

Hello Mavbandfans,

Our 2010 marching season is already underway with 2 of the 5 home games under our belts and 5 competitions plus our own 25th Annual Tournament of Bands yet to come.

We are excited to see our biggest band ever competing in some very prestigeous marching competitions. Bands that we will be head to head against this coming season. Our first challenge will be at IRMO High School's "Palmetto Esprit de Corps" on September 25th. Please make every effort to attend this event and support your kids and our band.

On down  the road on our calendar and also literally down the road is our trip to New Orleans as we participate in competitions and parades at the All State Sugar Bowl on January 5th. We still have slots available for Chaperones if you are interested. Cost is approximately $835.

Thanks to Gil Searcy for taking over the Media Team Committee. He will work with Mike as they transition to a new team this year. Look for great things from our Media Team.

We'll do a better job of keeping the blog up, so keep checking back in with us. As always, you can find the most important information on our webstite a www.mavband.com !

Thanks,
Webguy!
