Update From Parent Meeting

Ok - the meeting tonight was a success.  If you have any feedback on it please let me know.

 

We have a few updates:

1     The early morning practice on Monday Sept. 10th has been changed from 6:45 am.  BJ would like all members at the school on or before 6:40 am and ready to practice by 6:45 am.  Please have equipment ready.

 

2     The flyer that went home about the Homecoming Parade has incorrect information.  It states the parade is on SATURDAY Sept. 14th.  It is on Sept. 14th however that is Friday not Saturday.

 

Thank you to all who attended - we accomplished our task of getting all the band members fitted for their uniforms.  We appreciate your time and patience.
