Band Day 2009

Before you know it, on Saturday, October 17, BAND DAY 2009 will be here. What is Band Day, you ask? Well, only the most fun any instrumentalist can have in a single day, that’s what!

Who could resist spending the day with fellow music alumni, current and former members of the Golden Eagle Marching Band, and high school instrumentalists from throughout our region playing, marching, and raising all kinds of “spirit” on the field and in the stands as our Clarion football team takes on Mercyhurst.

Last year’s Band Day was an astounding success, and this year’s event will be even better because YOU will be joining us! So, dust of those marching shoes, oil your valves, and do a few stretches to get ready for Band Day 2009!

I’ll see you there!

For more information, visit the the Department of Music website or visit the Band Day page on the Golden Eagle Marching Band website. You also can telephone the Band Office at 814-393-2263.
