New students to our Marching Band are assigned a "Big Sibling" to offer peer-support during the start-up of the school year and offer help adjusting to the lifestyle of high school. The older "siblings" are members of our Trojan Marching Band Student Leadership Team (Section Captains and Drum Majors). If you have a student who is new to our Trojan Marching Band this year, they have likely already received a phone call from their assigned older sibling. New members of the marching band should have also received a welcome email from their Section Captain.
Trojan Marching Band Newcomer Party - Saturday, July 29
Our student leaders are hosting a welcome party for our new Trojan Marching Band members, this Saturday evening, at the home of Color Guard Leader Stefania Mossman. This annual gathering is a fun way for new Trojan Marching Band students to meet one another, and their student leaders, prior to the start of Band Camp on Monday, July 31. Attendance is not required, but strongly encouraged! This is a great way to break the ice and ask some questions before we hit the ground running at Band Camp. The gathering at Stefania's home will be supervised by parent chaperones, and not attended by DGN staff. We extend our thanks to the Mossman family for opening their home to host this year's party!
Date: Saturday, July 29
Time: 4:30 - 8:30 PM
Address: (See Email!)
Band Camp Survival Guide & Spirit Nights
Mr. Smith has put together a document about our Band Camp, with suggestions to help students have a successful camp experience! We strongly encourage all Marching Band students to read the survival guide this week, in preparation for Band Camp beginning on July 31. This resource can answer a lot of questions, and help everyone prepare to be successful during the entire week!

Trojan Marching Band Camp - First Day & Group Lunch
Next Monday is our first day of Band Camp 2023. The morning session (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM) is only for our NEW students, and our Student Leaders.
When the morning session ends, we would like ALL of our Trojan Marching Band Members to eat together during the lunch break, therefore, we are expecting ALL members to report to the school at 12:00 PM for our group lunch. This year, we are so thankful to have had our lunch donated by the DGN Friends of Fine Arts! All students will be provided a lunch, and this will be a great opportunity to come together as a Band Family and break bread together before we jump into the activities for the week.
Would you like to volunteer to help serve lunch that day? CLICK HERE to sign up!
