Note From Ed

​

Hello Marching Band Families,

          As you might have gathered from the current state of the health concerns in our state and country, next week’s marching band camp will need to be cancelled. It is with a heavy heart that I do this, but circumstances are still such that safety must come first for students and teachers. I will be consulting with administration and leadership about what the future holds for marching band this year and how and when it will be possible to meet again. I want to, nevertheless, send my congratulations to the student leadership group on their appointment for this fall. It breaks my heart that we will not be able to compete this season, but the Monte Vista HS Marching Band will rise again to become the successful award-winning group we once were!

          Let us keep faith that this epidemic will pass in time and I look forward to seeing you all in the flesh just as soon as possible! Please check www.mvkeynoters.org for updates as they become apparent and check your email for further communication!

Sincerely,

Ed Cloyd

Instrumental Music Director
