Welcome! We are so excited that your child has chosen to be a part of the Tippecanoe Marching Band. It is a wonderful program with wonderful kids. We have put together a folder of information to get you started. You will soon be assigned a “veteran parent” to serve as your mentor. They should be contacting you before school is out. In the meantime, if you have ANY questions, please give one of us a call!
