Kick off some Halloween fun and join in the Trunk or Treat line-up in the Mt. Carmel High parking lot on Wednesday, October 25th.

Each year Band and Guard parents are invited to decorate their cars with a Halloween theme and give out candy to the students after the Wednesday night rehearsal. This is an optional event, but the more parents participate, the more fun it is for the students.

We meet in the parking lot around 8:00 PM, decorate the cars, and socialize while waiting for the evening rehearsal to end. Once the rehearsal ends, the students bring their own bags or buckets for their candy and then visit each of the participating “trunks” before heading home.

If you are interested in participating, please plan candy for about 120 students. Generally, it is one or two pieces of candy per person.

We’re in search of volunteers for the Mt Carmel Tournament of Bands! If you’re interested in contributing but unsure about the available roles, take a look at the list below to see which positions are already filled. At the time of this announcement, these roles still require additional assistance.
