Many students at McPherson High School have been busy preparing for this year. The Marching Band started getting ready for their season the first week of August. Band camp was divided into two sessions for three hours each. 

“We are leaning our music and drill for this years competition show. We are also helping the freshman feel comfortable with marching and the harder music,” junior Hailee McClenton said.

Many other clubs are preparing for the year, including KAY club. KAY exec board members have been meeting the last couple weeks to start scheduling meetings and events.

“We have been meeting to prepare for this year, and to talk about what we’re going to do to get as many people to join as possible. We also set up the bulletin boards throughout the school, and set up the meeting times and projects for the year,” junior Meredith Hess said.

KAY is also helping with an ice cream social by serving ice cream. The ice cream social was put on by Central Office.

“We helped serve ice cream, along with other clubs at the school. It was fun to help out and meet new people,” Hess said.

Along with KAY and Band, many other clubs have been spending time preparing, planning, and organizing before the school year even starts.

“It sometimes sucks coming in to work during the summer, but once the school year starts, it’s definitely worth the extra preparation,” Hess said.
