Hello Titan Band and Color Guard Families,
Spring Trip was an amazing success. I want to thank all of the students, chaperones and directors for such a fun trip. Chaperones have been gathering pictures from the students and posting them to SmugMug for everyone to enjoy. I welcome any feedback on this trip or suggestions for future trips that I can share it with the directors and the travel agency.
Banquet is THIS FRIDAY May 2nd
· 6:00pm – Doors open. Please check in at the registration table
· 6:45pm - Dinner buffet opens

2025-2026 Registration – Saturday May 13th.
Packages and fee information will be distributed no later than tomorrow
Special Note regarding 2025-2026 Booster Executive Board Elections:
I apologize for the long note – but this is VERY IMPORTANT
On Monday, Valerie Lonsdale (Nominating Committee Chair) sent out the slate for 2025-2026 TBBA officers. As you can see, we only have 2 of the 7 Executive Board positions filled at this time. I will be honest and candid…. …. Without an executive board, some of the Band and Cologuard activities could be severely limited or cancelled, especially the extras like Spring Trip, Banquet, food for football games and competitions, etc.
WE NEED YOU!! Each role can absolutely be managed around your work schedule and other family commitments. Many roles can also have a committee / other volunteers – you do not need to do all the work yourself
It is not too late to run for office. Please join us on May 13th for the TBBA General Meeting at 6pm in the cafeteria. You can nominate yourself during the elections (“run from the floor”). Please reach out to the current executive member if you have any questions.
If you are considering a self-nomination, please reach out to Valerie at: NC2@centennialband.com.
Detail role descriptions are available starting on page 7 of the Standing Rules: https://www.centennialband.com/_files/ugd/7c5f3f_a134975e1a46431b9d8e837d72beb148.pdf
