Attention all Sophomore Honors English<br />
parents, Mrs. Bender is looking for parent<br />
volunteers for the annual Canterbury Tales<br />
Pilgrimage on Friday, September 12. We<br />
need parents for the day (about 9-2:15), and<br />
parents to help set up lunch at Eagle Creek<br />
Park. It is a fun way to get involved and to<br />
see your kids dressed in clothing from the<br />
Middle Ages! If you are interested, please contact Mrs.<br />
Bender at ext. 12312 or abender@zcs.k12.in.us.<br />
With new uniforms, a great competition show design, and the<br />
largest group of performers in their history, the Marching Eagles<br />
are looking forward to a great year. <strong>The</strong> students are more excited<br />
than usual about it this year, in part because of the show<br />
theme. <strong>The</strong> title of the 2008 show is: “Dreams and Dead Ends, A<br />
Gangster Tale”. <strong>The</strong> show opens with the gangster (the color<br />
guard) breaking out of prison while they play a cool song called Jazz Police.<br />
Next, the gangster finds his girl; the music here is Harlem Nocturne. Being a<br />
1920’s era gangster, some gambling follows and the band plays Luck Be A Lady<br />
Tonight. Just then, the police catch the gangster, there is a chase scene including<br />
sirens, and finally the gangster ends up back in jail.<br />
One of the most exciting parts of the summer was hosting an Open Class Drum<br />
and Bugle Corps called Jersey Surf. <strong>The</strong> competition site for quarter finals,<br />
semi finals, and finals was in Bloomington, but the group rehearsed in Zionsville<br />
and slept in the Freshman Center gym for three nights. Jersey Surf, along<br />
with the Marching Eagles, gave a short performance in our stadium which was<br />
followed by an ice cream social for the two bands. Performers and staff from<br />
Jersey Surf were very grateful for our hospitality and are looking forward to<br />
staying in Zionsville again next August.<br />
Another upcoming highlight is the opportunity to perform in Lucas Oil Stadium.<br />
I have a feeling that there will be well over 1000 Zionsville spectators for that<br />
event on August 23 rd . This will be the premiere of the<br />
Marching Eagles in their new uniforms.<br />
Enjoy the shows,<br />
Mr. Landrum, Director of Bands<br />
