Booster Meeting Tuesday

There will be an incredibly important band booster meeting on Tuesday, July 21st at 6:30PM in the NE Cafeteria at McGavock High School. Prior to the beginning of the meeting, there will be notary public and tables available for turning in forms.

This meeting will be an overall look at the McGavock Band program and the expectations of the year. It is incredibly important for every student and an adult representative of that student to be there so that we all start off on the same page!

We will also have Mr. Johnny Thomas there to do a kickoff of our spring trip to Orlando!

Please make every effort to attend this meeting and please also bring a dessert of some kind to share. There will be a dessert line after the meeting has concluded.

Thank you and look forward to seeing everyone there.
