Marching Band Rehearsal
We encourage ALL of our band families (concert band and marching band students and parents) to join us for a 6:30pm FAME Meeting in the ONHS Little Theater regarding upcoming events, including our upcoming mattress sale fundraiser, taking place on November 4th. This will be our first major fundraiser kicking off our Spring 2020 Olathe North Band trip, which will also be revealed during the meeting. The band program will receive an automatic $5 donation for every person that attends this meeting.
Dependent on weather and rehearsal productivity this week, the Screamin' Eagle Marching Band will rehearse from 7:00pm to 8:30pm on Thursday evening following the mattress sale portion of the meeting.
