Quarter 3 Newsletter

Greetings, TBC Members! This issue of our newsletter wraps up this past quarter and introduces our upcoming events. We would like to thank all of our wonderful members and parents for their participation and tremendous support towards our organization.

Summer program registration for Cadets, Royals, and Hastati regiments are released! The Hastati Regiment is open to children entering grades 4+ in the 24-25 school year. As for the Cadet program, any band student who is a rising 6th, 7th, 8th or a 9th grade is eligible for the summer season. The Royal Regiment is open to band students, rising grades 10+. Join to demonstrate and explore your passion for music, make new friends and earn service hours. The registration forms for all programs can be found here. We are looking forward to this great season ahead!

Elementary Band Concert

TBC’s Hastati Regiment is working very hard as they now reach their end of the year concert. It will be hosted at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center on June 1st at 3pm. Students are now mostly focused on preparing for the concert and the concert music is almost ready. We hope you can join us during the concert. Look forward to the performances!

Winter Drumline

The 2023-2024 winter season saw Tri-City Percussion's return from hiatus, with fresh new faces and fresh new drums. Ever since starting auditions in October, TCP has had constant weekend rehearsals until April. We had the privilege of performing at the WGI West Power Percussion Regional on April 23rd alongside other elite groups such as Thesis, Broken City, Pulse, RCC, Dark Sky, etc. Recently at NCPA Championships TCP medalled and took 2nd place over the Independent Open Class Division, definitely not bad for a revival!

General Officer Applications

TBC has over 750 members and 80 officers spanning 9 active programs and 125 different Bay Area schools and growing. And we couldn't do it without all of our hard-working and wonderful student officers. Our officers are students who are looking to develop their leadership and management skills as well as practice those skills in a real-life environment. General Officer Applications are out for the 2023-2024 school year and applications are accepted year round. You can apply as an officer here. We hope you can be part of an amazing officer team!

Spring Feed

On April 14th, Tri-City Band Corps held our annual Spring Breakfast Feed! We sincerely appreciate everyone who attended or donated, and hope everyone who attended had a delicious breakfast experience. Your support for this fundraiser and our organization as a whole allows us to continue our lessons and support our musically talented community. If you missed it this time, don't worry! Our feed events happen every year, so we hope to see you soon! Thank you again for your continued support for our organization.

Sincerely,

Deshna Kankaria

Chief Operations Officer 2023-2024
