Good afternoon and happy Sunday! I wanted to start by saying thanks to all for a great rehearsal this past Friday! We are SO close to having the whole show on the field, which is truly remarkable considering the hurdles we have faced this season. Thanks to all the wonderful parents who came to help out, I’m truly humbled by how many of you care enough to volunteer your time for the kids! We are entering our “crunch time” and will be moving full steam ahead through marching MPA on October 23rd. Keep the will and desire to be the best you can be, and we WILL be successful.
- Marching rehearsals will be on Tuesday and Thursday this week from 2:30pm-5:30pm. Attendance is very important, so let’s continue your great work with attendance. - There is a home football game this Friday night. A detailed schedule will be published tomorrow for this game. Yes it is a day off of school, and yes we will still have the game :) - We will be selecting what you would like to eat for the marching band showcase on October 9th.
