The GEB raised almost $30k before the donations along the route were included. This is right in line with March-A-Thon numbers pre-COVID. This is a huge win!!! We especially want to send a special thank you to March-A-Thon and Fund-Raising coordinator Tammy Dalton for her attention to every detail. Way to go!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, there are still a few unclaimed donations.

In addition, on the day of UIL, there will be a PSAT administration on campus that includes many band students. Therefore, we can\u2019t rehearse Wednesday morning on the day of UIL. Because of these rehearsal constraints, we have a special morning marching rehearsal on Monday, October 11. There is no school this day, but this rehearsal <strong><em>is required<\/em><\/strong> and it is an integral part of our success at UIL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: This <strong><em>is not a change<\/em><\/strong> to the original published calendar from last May.
