Hey there,

Hope you had an amazing Labor Day weekend! I just wanted to take a moment to say that our first away game was a huge success. Kudos to all of our students and parents who did such an outstanding job. 

Even though this week is shortened due to the long weekend, our rehearsal schedule will remain the same. And, just a heads up, we have a home game this weekend! This will be the first time this season that we'll be in full uniform, so please make sure that students have their white gloves and plain, all-black calf-length socks.

Parents, please check out the "parents" tab at the top of the page to find a place to get plugged into our booster program. There are many areas to volunteer, but we could really use your help in the concession stand during Friday night home games. Even if you have to come late, every bit of help is appreciated.

Thanks so much for your continued support of our program. Let's have an amazing week!

Tuesday - 6:00 - 8:30 p.m. - Rehearsal in the stadium
Wednesday - No rehearsal
Thursday - 4:00 - 6:30 p.m. - Rehearsal on the football practice field. 
Friday 3:45 - 10:45 p.m. - Home game vs. Rickards 

​Friday's Itinerary is here.

Students are released after they finish putting away uniforms and equipment.
A group text will be sent out at the end of the game. Students should be ready for pick-up no later than 30 minutes following the end of the game. Generally, students are done by 10:30-10:45. Please pick up students promptly.

What a fantastic first performance of the year!

The energy was electric and you could feel the excitement in the air. It's always such a great feeling to see our members shine on the field. A big shoutout to all the parents who volunteered in concessions and chaperoned in the stands, your support means everything. I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season has in store for us. 

Moving on, I wanted to quickly update you on Friday's game at Pine Forest High School in Pensacola. We're in need of chaperones, truck drivers, and assistance with moving equipment. Parents, please check out the "Parent" tab for more information on how you can help out and get involved in our band program. Remember, we're a team and we can't do this without you! You'll find the general schedule for this week below, and you can head over to the "performance details" tab for more information on Friday's game. Let's make it another great week!

Dear parents,

Welcome to the new school year! We are excited to have your child be a part of the Navarre Raider Band. This year promises to be filled with great music, fun performances, and many rewarding experiences.

I wanted to inform you that I will be moving away from using the band app for communication. Moving forward, all band information will be available on our official website. Please ensure that you visit the website regularly to stay up-to-date on all band-related information.

The boosters will still use the band app to arrange volunteers, pregame meal sign-ups, and other band-related information. However, the official place for all things related to the Navarre Raider Band will be the band website.

If you need to contact me, please use my school email [email protected]. Thank you for your continued support of our program. We look forward to a fantastic year with the marching band!

Best regards,

Dean Barrow, Band Director
​Navarre High School
