Wow...the summer has really flown by. It seems like just a
short time ago, I was writing my spring message! Welcome to all our new Banders
and Booster parents and welcome back to all returning Banders and Boosters.
We’re looking forward to a spectacular year! If you have any questions or need
additional information or clarification about anything, please don’t hesitate
to contact me or any of the Board members. We understand there is a lot to take
in these first few weeks of the season and it can be a bit overwhelming, so we’re
happy to help you out anytime.

We’re already well in to Band Camp and Pie Fest is just
around the corner. And of course, we know what comes right after Pie
Fest…Marching band season officially gets under way! This is truly one of my
most favorite times of the year! It has been a busy July and August with Rookie
camps / parent orientations, sectionals, uniform fittings and of course lots
and lots of planning. We have a lot going on in the coming weeks and it all
kicks off with Pie Fest on August 29^th. Please be sure to tell all
your friends, family and neighbors to come out and experience what has become
one of Seneca Valley’s greatest traditions. Amy Covell, Lisa Augustine, Julie
Smith and their committee have done a tremendous job planning this year’s event
and it’s going to be terrific. Our first game follows closely behind Pie
Fest…just 2 days later in fact. We’ll be on the road to Peter’s Township on
Friday September 1^st.  The
Directors and kids have been working hard and putting in long hot days getting
ready for the season. It’s looking great! Thanks to Erin Scott and her
volunteer team for taking great care of the kids, keeping them hydrated and
reminding them to apply and re-apply sunscreen.  

I’m really excited for the season to get started
and I hope you are too.
