Good Morning KC Band Alumni!
As you may know, this is our Keller Central Homecoming Week. We would love to invite you to join the current KC Band in the stands after halftime to play and enjoy memories of years gone by. The band will perform their entire contest show after the game and will end with the fight song at which time we would like to invite you to join them on the field.
If you have an instrument you are welcome to bring it - if you do not it's ok - just come join the fun.
Please wear a KC Band shirt - if you have a show shirt from your Senior year that would be awesome. Something to identify you as a Band Alumni.
After the game, we will have parent/ alumni hang out time at Dallas Craft Co. You are welcome to join us there as well.
Please RSVP to me (becky_davidpuckett@yahoo.com) so that we have an idea of the number of alumni that we have coming.
We hope that this will become a great tradition at Keller Central. Hope to see you Friday.
Go KC Band!

Hello All
I thought it would be informative to write about the necklaces that were given out last Thursday.
This has been a tradition in our band for years now.
One side of the necklace has our name on it.
Keller Central Band
The other side of the necklace has our song
"You are the New Day"
This song has been played at the freshman induction ceremony and band banquet for the last nine years now. It's also the first thing played by the band in 2009 in "The New Direction Show." I arranged it on purpose as one of the songs that would unite all band members current and pass.
Students also receive a beed for the shows they marched.
Blue = Dichotomy
Black = What If
Orange = Rite of Passage
Green = Firefly
This year's beed will be given to the band at our last show.
Most students wear these all year long. It is a required item all band performances both Fall and Spring semesters. (Guard will be able to wear them under their new uniforms when they arrive)
