2022-23 Sumner HS Spartan Band & Color Guard
(Updated 12/4/2022)
Sumner HS Band Program Students, Parents and Families:
I hope all of you are enjoying a restful Sunday (though it’s snowing like crazy out here in Trilogy) after a busy and exciting Friday night at the Girls BB Game and a really interesting day Saturday at the 3 Holiday Parades. What a wild week we just had - the new MB and CG uniforms getting revealed on Monday night (thanks to everyone who attended and for the feedback that you gave), an excellent first concert performance by both of our Jazz Ensembles at the Instrumental-Only District Jazz Night on Tuesday, a sudden snowstorm that led to the cancellation of our Wednesday afternoon pre-parades rehearsal, a no-school snow-day on Thursday, a great performance on Friday at our first BB Pep Band Game of the season by both the Band and the Color Guard, and then yesterday: it was just beautiful in Sumner as we started out the parades, it was also really nice in Puyallup as we performed there, and then we got to Enumclaw and the bitter wind and cold (I was told that the wind-chill was somewhere between 13 and 23 degrees). Once we got onto the parade-route (as the next-to-last unit at the very end of the parade) everyone did a fantastic job considering the conditions and no full-group rehearsal before the events. Thanks to everyone for doing a terrific job and to the parents and families who helped us both during the parades and for the great treats after we got back to SHS. Lots of fun, exciting, and sometimes weird stuff going on every week with us, but we’ve sure got some great memories that we’ll cherish. So, let’s get prepared for our final 2 weeks of the 2022 part of the 2022-23 school-year. This week we start out with a rescheduled Pep Assembly on Monday as well as our December SBPA Meeting at 7:00PM, 2 BB Pep Band performances on Tuesday and Thursday, 2 Jazz Ensemble performances on Saturday, and the start of our transition to Symphonic Band, so it’s a “normal” busy week for us. Let’s take a look at our upcoming 2-week schedule:

You just never know what the schedule is going to be for us, so I appreciate you checking the BLAST and rolling with whatever changes we have as each week goes on. This is the best schedule I know of as-of now, so please be planning and preparing on a daily basis. Students have done such a fantastic job of always doing their best in whatever pulling our trailer around to all of the parades Saturday as well as our parent chaperone who marched with us and the parents who set-up the snacks when we got back to SHS. We’ve got a few more events left in 2022 so let’s keep working hard and having fun. Thanks again so much.
