Were you born to toss and destined to catch? If you have ever entertained the idea about joining the color guard, but weren't quite sure if it was the right fit for you or you just want to improve your skills. Come give it a whirl at the EHS Color Guard Spin Clinic on Saturday, May 13th! The clinic runs from 8:00AM until 5:30PM and is taught by our coaching staff and experienced members of our Winter Guard team. There is NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED in order to participate and grades 7th-12th are welcome. It only costs $45.00 for the entire session and that includes your lunch. You can find registration forms at www.easternbands.org under Latest News and the About Us/Color Guard tab along with the equipment and attire needs of the clinic. It's time to whip it, strip it, and flip it with Eastern on Saturday, May 13th!

It should be Ill-EAGLE not to own one of the Eastern Eagle towels! It can wipe up the competition or the sweat from your brow during the dog days of summer at band camp. There is no task too big or too small that the Eastern Eagle gym towel can't handle. Romance gone sour...It'll wipe up those tears. Fettuccine night at the Chow Wagon...It doubles as a napkin. Have you placed your order yet? Well, what are you waiting for? The Eastern Eagles NEVER throw in the towel...They sell them! You can have your very own Eastern Eagle gym towel for only $8.00. Please make sure that the completed order form and monies are in a labeled envelope and placed in the ever popular BLUE BOX. They'll go fast; so get yours TODAY!
