All you need is a strong desire to work hard and have fun this summer!

Join us this coming Monday, March 19th!
To kick off the upcoming CYO Emerald Knights Marching Band and Guard season, you are invited to attend the CYO Marching Band FREE spaghetti dinner and informational meeting on Monday, March 19th at 6:00 PM in the cafeteria at All Saints Catholic School – North Campus (formerly Holy Rosary School – corner of 22nd Ave. and 45th St.). CYO will provide the main dish, beverages and utensils. We ask that each family brings one side dish to pass. That way we can all experience the camaraderie that comes with being a part of the CYO “family.” During the meal you will have an opportunity to meet fellow potential band members and their families and get to know the instructors.
After dinner, we will have a short presentation explaining what it is like to be in the CYO Marching Band, what membership involves and hopefully answering any questions you may have. If you have never been a part of a marching band this is a GREAT time to ask questions and find out what it’s all about. We will have membership contracts available at this event and after the presentation we will be happy to accept contracts and deposits! We will also have our performance schedule available for everyone on that night.
Feel free to spread the word to anyone who might be interested in joining a marching band this summer. Members do NOT have to attend a Catholic or private school to be a part of our marching band, nor do they have to be regular members of CYO during the school year. All we ask is that students be entering 6th grade or higher for the 2012-13 school year and we will accept marchers up to age 21. We are also looking for students to join our color guard and work with our new color guard instructor this summer! There are incentives in place if we reach certain membership levels, so invite your friends!
