Grace's two main extracurricular activities are the Drama Club and its 2 (or 3) per year musicals, and the marching band.
The Drama Club is scheduled to do The Addams Family in the Fall and Newsies in the Spring. All of that depends on social distancing, what can be done in person, etc... We are hopeful, but...

| Thing 1 and Horton the Elephant |
As far as the marching band goes, the Hawaii trip this year was canceled and then postponed until next spring. So it should still happen. Maybe. If we are lucky.
The year end marching band banquet this year was replaced by a Zoom call (Monday June 1) where we played videos, had a slide show, honored our seniors, and unveiled next year's show (Western Side Story - a western themed show).

| 2019-2020 Band |
One thing that wasn't included as part of the year end banquet, but which the kids have been clamoring for, is the naming of band leadership positions for next year - drum majors, field majors, section leaders and other positions. Drum majors, of which there are 3, are the student leaders of the band. Field majors, of which there are generally 2, are assistants to the drum majors, and are sort of drum majors in training (at least if they are underclassmen who will be around the next year). Grace was very anxious for these announcements, since she had applied for and gone through the interview process for a field major position. A bunch of people had applied for field major, and I told her just to wait and see what happened, but not to be disappointed if she didn't get it. She was also in consideration for a clarinet section leader position if field major didn't work out. Which I didn't expect that it would. There were a lot of good candidates.

Now I just hope we actually have a 2020-2021 marching band season...
