What If It Rains Saturday Night?

There is a chance of rain Saturday night, but don't cancel your plans to attend the competition!

From the band directors:
​All invitationals have a rain plan in the event of inclement weather. Hosts make every effort to keep the event outdoors, so light rain will usually not stop the event from occurring outside. Step one is typically a delay to see if the rain will stop.  If the decision to perform inside was made, Noblesville would communicate the plan with Mr. Cooper and the competition would proceed in the gymnasium.  

"I Am The Storm" Swag Orders Ready for Pickup TONIGHT

​“I Am The Storm” Swag orders will be available for pickup in the band room after practice tonight, 8:30pm Thursday, Sept 30th.
