This past Friday was a busy one for the band! Senior Week ended with dinner for the seniors from Crabapple Tavern followed by dessert with their families. Afterward, they walked the field before the game. We pulled off a win against Milton in our last regular season game, ending a seven-year losing streak! And, we had Flavian Ducret, a foreign exchange student from France staying wih the Canty family, join us in the stands with his trumpet.

THANK YOU TO OUR MEAL SPONSORS & SENIOR WEEK MERRY MAKERS!
A big thank you to Kristen Ott (Grant, 10th) and her mom, Susan Grimes, for the delicious pre-game chili dinner this past Friday.
Thanks also goes to Crabapple Tavern for sponsoring the senior dinner.
Another big thank you to Kristy Reiver (Mackenzie, 12th), Lindsey Slack (Sam, 12th), and Lindsey's mom for all their hard work in making senior week a memorable one for our students! The kids were showered with cups, cookies, senior night ribbons, snacks, and personalized posters for each student (24 of them) which were put up around the band room.
THE ROSWELL HORNETS HAVE SECURED A PLAYOFF GAME SPOT!
The Hornets secured a home playoff game spot with their win against Milton! The first round playoff will be on Friday, November 14 against Chamblee High School.
Our 3rd Annual Rock-A-Thon will be held on Saturday, November 8 from 12-9pm. This is a fun day where all of our students will gather in the band room with a rocking chair and "rock" the day away to raise money for the band. Students will be given pledge forms after the Fall Break. We are asking each student to collect pledges of at least $150 total.
Honeybaked Ham will give the band 20% of all funds collected on gift card sales. We are asking all of you to share the link or flyer with your friends, family, coworkers, on social media, via email or text. If family or friends usually purchase ham, turkey or sides from Honeybaked Ham for the holidays, encourage them to purchase a gift card through the link to use for their purchase. This costs nothing to the purchaser. If a $50 gift card is purchased, it costs the purchaser $50 and the band will get $10 from Honeybaked Ham. Our goal is to raise $2000. These funds will benefit ALL band students and be used for instrument repair, sectional coaches, the end of year banquet, and much more.
We need 2 to 3 volunteers to take over the Band Concession Stand operations. This is a crucial fundraiser that directly helps keep band fees low for all members.
By dividing the workload, it becomes much more manageable—and your help makes a big impact! Please consider volunteering your time and skills to support the Band program. If you're interested or have questions, reach out to president@roswellband.com.
