Marching Band Props Design & Construction

We are looking for a crew of parents who can help to design and construct this year’s marching band props (along with the carts to move them).

Our fall marching band show is entitled “Dark Tales from the Grimm Forest.” It is a somewhat abstract presentation of four Grimm fairy tales: Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, and Hansel and Gretel. As part of the visual presentation of the show, the field will be made to look like a spooky forest, with a number of trees all over the field, a medieval-looking “tower”, and a larger-than-life spinning wheel. Of course, all of these props need to be constructed, and then transported from show site to show site in the fall. That’s where you come in!

There will be a “prop information” meeting for all interested parents on Monday, June 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Northwest Seminar Room (above the front office suite).

If you are interested in helping build the “set” for the show, the band could definitely use your help…the more hands, the better. There will be jobs ranging from designing to building to painting, so there’s a way for everyone who is interested to help out. The goal is to have all props constructed and ready to go for band camp on Monday, August 7.

Please consider coming and helping make this year’s show as visually impressive as your students are working to make it sound!

If you would like to help out but are unavailable for the meeting, please shoot Mr. Friesleben an email at cfriesleben@waukeeschools.org, and he’ll make sure you have the information.
