Good Evening Band Family!

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and of course ... the eclipse! The band is looking good and Saturday was a huge success. Thank you to all those that volunteered and helped out ... it was a success because of you!

Our first game is this Friday and it's an away game at Creekview. If you can join us please sign up below. We need chaperones to escort the band the entire time, yes that means you get to ride the bus! You will sit with the band and make sure the students are taken care of.

We also need equipment help Friday night. We need 2 individuals to be at school at 4:45pm to help the students load the truck. Then we need the rest of the equipment assistance to be at Creekview to help unload the truck and move it to the stadium at approximately 6:15pm. Then if those same invididuals could assist after our halftime performance, we will load everything back onto the truck (approximate time 8:45pm). We should arrive back to school around 11:00pm and just a couple of parents are needed to help some tired students unload the truck.

I realize this is a lot of information but I want to make sure expectations are set and there is no confusion. If you cannot help the entire night for equipment, please indicate in the comments what you can help with.

Lastly, we still need some assistance with after school practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays the band practices in the parking lot, so you set up the water/Gatorade station under the walkway. You stay there during the practice to make sure everyone is hydrated and if a student needs additional assistance. Generally speaking, Thursdays the band is at the stadium. So you will setup the water/Gatorade station there. We have access to water and ice in the stadium. We ask that you arrive a few minutes before the band begins practicing so that you can get the wagon and coolers from the concession stand by the auditorium (Mr. Borger has the key) and also pick up the first aid backpack from Mr. Borger's office. It sounds like a lot but it's really not :)
