The Update:

Happy Monday Naaman Forest Band Community. We hope you stayed warm and are enjoying your three day weekend. We are excited to see you on Tuesday for a 4-day b-day week.

We have Pep band 2 this Friday. Please wear your pick of [Green, orange, tan] Naaman Forest Band shirt] for this basketball game.

Parents, NTCA is coming up and your help is direly needed. NTCA is an all day colorguard contest that we host and it is our most important fundraising event. This event is crucial to help fund all the meals and activities for our student for the end of the year as well as the beginning of the next marching season. If you have time to spare and volunteer, please contact Ms. Lydia.
