2011-2012 Band Video Part 1 pre-release sale!

Video to include band camp, post-camp concert, football season and Winter concert.

Cost $25
 
We need to sell enough copies to make Bill Blanke's effort putting this together worthwhile.  It takes hours to professionally produce the tape.  They have recorded more than 50 hours of video.  This has to be reduced down. You can catch snippets on You Tube.

Pre-order form is available under Handbook/Forms/Links
 
ALL proceeds go directly to the Band Boosters and will help purchase a new drum line.
Bill Blanke is not paid for this.  Thanks Bill and Bonnie Blanke for all your time and expertise putting this together!!
