Parents & Students,
Welcome to the Blue Sheet - our weekly announcements for Marching Band!!

This week we travel to St. Pius X for our second competition of the season. We will be using our props for the first time this year and it will take some early prep work loading here at the school at noon and unloading and assembling at St. Pius. . . if you are able to help us with this it would be amazing!! The students move the props on and off the field - we just need the assistance with tear-down and assembly. Thanks for giving of some of your valuable time!!

HOMECOMING UPDATE
Our Homecoming plan for the conflict of the October 21 contest will be as follows. We are tentatively scheduled to perform at 5:55 PM. Once our performance is concluded and truck is loaded, students will be able to meet parents at the St. Pius X school drop-off turnaround. Students may arrange rides with other parents for this occasion - we must have written permission from each student's parent to be released from our supervision and leave the contest for the purpose of attending the homecoming dance. This should all be possible between the hours of 6:45 and 7:15. NOTIFICATIONS OF STUDENT DISMISSAL MUST BE RECEIVED FRIDAY - ANY NOTIFICATION GIVEN SATURDAY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!


As always - thanks for all you do for the Cambridge Bands!!
