Indoor Registration
Here is the latest information on Indoor Season 2021:
* There will be ZERO in-person competitions/events for the Indoor 2021 Season for Guard or Drumline.
* If we can access the building, we will practice and then record performances to send in for adjudication, as we did in the fall.
* Winter sports have been delayed until January 19, 2021. Therefore, we can not begin until after that date. We will assess the situation at that point and decide on proceeding with Building access, or 100% virtual
* Both activities can proceed as a virtual activity, even without building access.
* We shall do the very best we can to keep the costs at a minimum, but we anticipate that the Indoor 2021 Fee Structure would look something like this:
Indoor season 2021 — if we have building access will be approx. $280–300pp
Indoor season 2021 — if we are FULL remote will be approx. $110pp.
* NO student may participate if he/she is not current (100% paid for Fall, 2020) and/or has an up-to-date contract for any prior monies owed.
* If we have building access — we will follow the same exact screening protocols, and safety procedures, that we did in the fall.

MAC Championships
The Musical Arts Conference (where we compete in the Indoor Season) has asked us to be the host for the 2021 Indoor Season MAC Championships on April 10, 2020!
Since the season will be an online virtual season, what this means is that we will be airing our Senior Recognition the night of Championships, along with everyone’s Championship Performance!

Fall Show 2021 is Announced
“Summon the Heroes” is our theme for the Fall 2021 Marching Band & Guard. We will pay tribute to the Health Care workers and other essential workers that rose to the occasion during this Pandemic. BUT — the folks we will feature, just like in the Joy Show, will be from the Bunnell Family of Alumni and Members.
Heres a sneak peek at the Music that we will draw our inspiration from:
“Summon the Heroes” — John Williams
Originally composed for the Olympics — this has the message: to Summon Our Great Heroes — the Health Care workers and others who kept us healthy.
“Medical Center” — Lalo Schifrin
A TV series 1969–1976 — driving energy and a simulated ambulance siren!
“St. Elsewhere” — Dave Grusin
A Medical Drama on TV from the 1980's
“Fanfare for the Common Man” — Aaron Copeland (Emerson Lake & Palmer)
It’s also the “Common Man” that rose to help — the postman, the grocery store clerk, the Police, Fire & EMT’s…
“Kind & Generous” — Natalie Merchant
From her tribute to health care workers — this will be our “Curtain Call”
I think this is going to be terrific!
Thank you
J. Miller
