Every

Monday 3:30pm-5:30pm  

Wednesday 6:00pm-9:00pm

Through October 

Please mark your calendar, communicate with employers etc. so all students can attend so we can rehearse for success. Student attendance at rehearsals is graded and, because this is a performance group, attendance has a huge impact on the experience for all members.

Students should be practicing at home to prepare for full rehearsal, so, parents, please request private performances by your student. They have a growing repertoire to master. 

Reporting Absences

If a student is unable to attend a rehearsal please email Mr. Grom at adgrom@gmail.com. A parent email explaining the absence will help me keep an accurate record of student absences. Please remind your student to clear their work schedule so they can attend band practice. 

If you have any questions or concerns please free to contact Mr. Grom at adgrom@gmail.com.

Remember to order your Marching Orangemen shirts by Thursday 8/23.

Mr. Grom

T-Shirt Orders

Hello Fans of the Marching Orangemen,

   We have completed (survived) another Ellet Band Camp. What a great start to a great year.

   This is a very special group of students and I am confident they will create a successful year for the Ellet Band. On behalf of the instructors and myself I would like to thank all of the parents, grandparents and friends who helped with the support services during camp. The students and staff were well fed and cared for, we couldn't do it without you.

   We will be placing another "Marching Orangemen" T-Shirt order this week. If you would like to place an order click on the link and follow the instructions.

   Let's make a sea of Orange and White in the stands. We want the students to see exactly where their fans are sitting.

There have all ready been a few sunburned faces and shoulders since band camp started on Sunday. Remind your Marching Orangemen to avoid becoming Marching Redmen. Slather on sunscreen every 80 minutes even if it's cloudy. View this Slide Show from the Mayo Clinic about sun damage.

Here's a look at the weather forecast this week.
