New Instagram Accout Created

The band now has a NEW official social media connection. In addition to our Facebook and Twitter, we have added Instagram to our social lineup. This was at the suggestion of some of the high school band members. Search for it under the same username as our Facebook and Twitter usernames "raiderforceband."
Our communication method of choice will still be Remind101. This is a text message system that keeps everyone's cell number anonymous. Anyone wanting alert messages related to the raiderforce pep band should text @raiderpep to the number (812) 618-3669 to register. During game times you may notice increased text traffic, but my name Mr. Haigh will appear before each message so you will always know who it is from even if my personal number isn't in your phone (that is where the anonymous part comes in). You don't see mine and I don't see yours!
Junior High Band and 6th Grade Band Members have their own Remind 101 groups as well. Junior High should text @jhband13 to the same number. 6th Grade Band members should text @raiderbnd6 for their band related announcements.
Don't have text and would prefer email? See Remind101.com for details about how to do that. The same message can be sent to email instead of or in addition to the text to your phone.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra - Christmas Extravaganza !!


This is awesome...  Band kids should check this out from home!  You won't be able to watch this from the blog, but will link directly to YouTube for viewing.  Mr. Hunt shared it with me over break.  Even though the music is now out of season, it is a fantastic example of what can be done with the skills you are learning.  Pep Band should check out "Stray Cat Strut" at 00:34:20.  Trombones, there is some AWESOMNESS at about 00:31:30.  Everyone else just ENJOY!
