A music store in Grand Rapids has gone out of business. The auction is February 13. Here is a link to the items that you might want to look at. There are instruments of every kind on the auction block. It's worth a look. Most items will start at $5.00!

Good morning!

   I am carefully watching the weather for tonight's game. If we are going to get rained on - we will need to be prepared to wear the summer uniform. Please be sure to bring this with you just in case. Please forward this message to everyone and anyone who is not on the mailing list. We have too many games and performances for the uniforms to get wet and soaked for the coming weeks.

Please still plan on having pictures taken at 4:30 PM today.

If you have any questions, I am at the MS in the morning and the HS this afternoon.

See you at 3 pm SHARP for rehearsal!


8/26/08:

We have our first football game two days away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Grant Band wants to wish Mr. Mosley the best of luck as he moves on to work at Muskegon Public Schools. He will be missed and his work will not be forgotten. Thank you Mr. Mosley! We start at 3 pm on Thursday!


8/22/08:

This is the last weekend before the marching band really starts going - we have our first parade tomorrow - first football game next Thursday. The marching band has been doing an amazing job so far and we look forward to a great season. This page will be updated on a regular basis - we slacked off during the summer with this! Thanks for all the support parents - we couldn't do this without you!

The marching band is very close to making state finals! This weekend, we will be competing at Reeths-Puffer High School. For us to qualify for state, we need to beat or come close to Comstock Park HS. They have a great show - which means we have to have an even better show! If we do not beat them, we have to wait for the scores from the east side of the state to come for us to know. We will notify everyone by this website, mass e-mail and possibly phone calls home. Come out and support the marching band as we go for our goal of making it to the MCBA State finals!
