We have a huge week! Please go to the website and sign up for concessions positions. We are running concession for the Powder-Puff game tonight, we are running concessions for the JV game that is this Thursday and for the home game against Fort Meade. Students can volunteer with concessions for the Powder-Puff game and the JV game. We need these opportunities to be successful considering we lost a lot of money with the rain out last week! Please push your students to practice and make sure they are at rehearsal. We have our first competition in two weeks and we have a long way to go to be ready. I can not make the band successful if the students are not there.

Sorry, for getting this out late but I have included information for next week as well. We do have a game this Friday which is also Middle School Band night. We will need to have plenty of parent volunteers for concessions and helping the middle school students have a great night. Please make sure we have 100% attendance at all practices! Our first competition is October 1st and we need every minute of rehearsal to be ready. When a student misses practice we have to reteach the material which slows down progress. Please be at practice!!!
Please keep working on the World’s Finest Chocolate sale so we can hit our goal of 440 boxes sold. The sale will end next Friday. Students can apply $30 per box sold towards their band fees.
