BAND REVIEW WRAP UP:
A huge thank you to all of you for helping make our 2022 Band Review a huge success. The compliments from attending directors, schools, and their parents have kept coming in throughout the weekend. We continue to run the best event in NCBA and that’s entirely due to your dedication to our program. YOU ARE AMAZING!
Message from Rob
With the 2022 Foothill Band Review behind us, I took a few days off to recover. Hopefully you did the same.
Even as soon as the events ended and throughout those recovery days, I was filled with reflection and appreciation.
For some of us, including myself, this was the first full Band Review we volunteered for. Some of you, this was your first time being a lead. For our Senior parents, this is your “last” band review. I put last in quotes because there were many alumni and alumni parents that came back and helped!
I cannot express how thankful I am for all of you that volunteered and helped. The Band Review was an absolute success with your help. Yes, there were hiccups and some difficulties, but all of you powered through, found solutions, and contributed to the Band Review’s success.
We now enter the part of the season where we get to visit other schools and attend their events. Please be sure to share your experience and thanks to all those other band parents that are working hard to make our experience at their school memorable.
With gratitude,
Rob
President, Foothill Band Boosters
