The North Stafford Invitational is a marching competition we host. We have bands from all around the state come to compete against each other. We are the 2nd longest running show in Virginia and this is our 42nd annual. This is also a major fundraiser that allows us to keep the band fee down. This is a HUGE DEAL!!! It is important that we have all hands-on deck not only with the students but from the parents as well. More information as we get closer but PLEASE reserve this date to help make this event run smoothly.

Football Playoff Games
* We are required to play at all home playoff games and some away playoff games. Playoffs are single elimination games meaning they will keep playing each week until they lose. The season is over when they lose or win the championship, whichever comes first. Afterschool rehearsals end on 11/8 regardless of playoffs. I cannot predict the schedule. Please leave the below dates open as the group cannot function without all members.
As an example: the two years prior to pandemic the last game was the first Saturday of December. However, last year we did not make the playoffs so there were no additional games.
| Nov 15 or 16 | TBA | *Possible Playoff Game |
| Nov 23 | TBA | *Possible Playoff Game |
| Nov 30 | TBA | *Possible Playoff Game |
| Dec 7 | TBA | *Possible Playoff Game |
| Dec 14 | TBA | *Possible Playoff Game |
