Elementary Music Director (PreK-4):  Mrs. Cheryl Sandrock 

Special Event:

Hello Lakota Raiders! 

This year, the Raider Marching Band will be hosting its first ever Mini Auxiliary Night!! Your student will be able to join either our Majorette (baton) or Color Guard (flag) units in learning and performing a routine for our Friday, September 5th halftime show! This event is open to students entering grade 3-8. There will be a small participation fee to help cover for materials, this fee being $5. 

There will be 4 practices that students should expect to join us for on the following Monday's and Wednesday's: August 25th, 27th, September 1st and 3rd. These practices will be 3-4 p.m.

On Friday, September 5th, we will gather at 5:00 p.m. to run through and review our show, then march to the stadium together at about 6:30. Students will then join families to support our football team. An announcement will be made just before halftime for our Mini Auxiliary members to meet on the track and get in position. After our fantastic performance, which will begin at about 8:00 p.m., students will be dismissed to either watch the rest of the game, or head home for bed time for our younger members. 

Please RSVP via the Google Form below no later than August 22nd so that the Band Program can plan supplies and routines accordingly. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Band Director Mr. Welly (bwelly@lakotaschools.org) or our Auxiliary Advisors: Guard Advisor Miss Ivy Rubel (419) 806-9822 or Majorette Advisor Miss Caidence Iler (419) 575-0197.
