We hope to collect enough money to purchase smaller tokens of thanks for our techs--Joe Encinias (Drum Tech) and Ellaurah Ashby (Colorguard Tech)--who support our students and keep them in time, in step, and looking and sounding fabulous. We ask that all families contribute to these gifts, in whatever amounts they feel comfortable.
