One Bandcamp Week Down, One to Go + Website Update The Cyclone Regiment has worked very hard the past week learning drill and cleaning the show music. We will be working hard this week to clean even more, and put on more drill. I've updated the links page with a lot of great band and music resources, which will benefit both the middle and high school band student. I will continue to add even more as the year progresses, so continue to check that page routinely. Students: You will receive your password for the student portal section of this website soon.
