This year's Cougar Band program, "Pulling Out All the Stops," is based on thematic material from the Maestoso (Finale) movement of the "Organ Symphony" (Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78) by Camille Saint-Saens. It was arranged by Bruce McConnell, currently Director of Concert Percussion at Carmel High School.

Drum Majors will be Aaron Anderson and Abby Zinman.

This year, the Cougar Band will be traveling for the first time to the Bands of America Regional held in the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan! This will be an overnight trip, with departure after school on Oct. 8. We will perform in the morning prelims and, hopefully, again in the evening finals on Oct. 9, returning to Bloomington late on the 9th.

See the website calendar for the rehearsal schedule! A newsletter with detailed information has been sent by snail mail also.
