FUNDRAISER AND BLITZ DAY . . . Thanks to all the students who already sold 10 cards to help the band with our annual band fundraiser. . . . please keep selling!! If everyone does their small part, we make our goal!! We have never missed our goal on this fundraiser.

Students not selling at least 10 cards are expected to attend our Blitz Day on Saturday, August 26th - 9am-12pm - and help with our remaining cards. If we sell enough this week, that may not be necessary . . . but it will require everyone to do their part and HELP THE BAND!!

ALL STUDENTS HELPING WITH 20 CARDS SOLD CAN ATTEND A SPECIAL CONCERT ON OCTOBER 24 - COURTESY OF THE BAND! This will be an excused absence from school!

Look for more updates and details in separate booster emails regarding the fundraiser - and thanks for your HELP!

DAY CAMP RECAP THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE THAT MADE OUR DAY CAMP A HUGE SUCCESS!! 3/4 of the show is on the field and it is starting to look and sound exciting!! An OVERWHELMING thanks to all the parents who volunteered their time throughout the day to make sure our students were well-hydrated, well-fed, and taken care of all day! This was the largest parent volunteer group we have seen on a Saturday and it was AWESOME! THANK YOU!

CALLING ALL HANDY-WORKING PARENTS Huge thanks to the parents that worked on our storage for percussion last Saturday! We will have some construction needs soon for our show - so if you are "handy" look for emails on when that will begin!!

LOOKING AHEAD The first weekend in October is a long weekend for students (no school on Thursday, October 5 through Monday, October 9). We will not have any practice on days students do not have school - this includes that Thursday and Monday. However, we DO plan on performing a full halftime performance that Friday night. If you are going to be out of town and unable to perform, we should be notified this week - as per our attendance policy. Please check your calendars and communicate any conflicts.

Looking forward to our first performances this Friday!!
