Drumline Plays at EBCon
Drumline Performs at EBCon 2026
Date: Thursday, July 16 2026
Time: 7:00am-8:30am
Location: Webb MS
Attire: Naaman Forest Spiritwear - Drumline Jerseys if you have one
Details: The drumline has been asked to perform at the opening of a conference held at Webb Middle School. This event will focus on playing cadence in an effort to start the morning with some excitement and added spirit.
Students will need to bring their drum + stand + sticks to Webb by 7:00am.
We will perform from 7:30-8:15am
Students are dismissed by 8:30am.
Students may hold on to their drum until the following Monday, July 20, when band camp begins. Or students may follow Mr. Collins to take the equipment to Naaman Forest after the performance.
Students are responsible for their own transportation.
Expectations: All students are expected to attend if they are in town and available. It is understandable to have conflicts as it is during the summer break and during the weekday. Please email Mr. Collins as early as possible to communicate any conflicts. Communicating conflicts in a timely manner will be essential for the success of this performance.
