Veteran's correction & update

Hi again,

 

So a few of you noticed the flyer said the parade was on Monday the 11th which might be confusing because the 11th this year is actually a Tuesday.  I apologize for the error.  The date is correct but the day is not.  We will be doing the Veteran's day parade on Veteran's day which is Tuesday November 11th.

 

The small shoe order is in but they seem a bit tight.  If your child wears 4 1/2 or smaller, please have your child come to the band room tomorrow to try their shoes on.  I'm expecting the large shoe order tomorrow as well so feel free to stop on by just to check.

 

Only a few students have confirmed their availability for the parade this Tuesday.  Please help me out by letting me know if I need to bring your child's equipment and uniform or not.

 

Also, we have a slight change this year at the end of the parade.  After turning right on "O" street we will make another right into the alley between Main & 18th.  One of our band parents owns a facility near the end of the parade route.  They would like to invite band parents to bring cookies or drinks into the facility for the children to enjoy after the parade. The name of their academy is Merced MMA and the address is 745 W Main Street. They are across from McAuley motors and literally on the corner of Main and O. The end of the parade turns right past the Academy. Their parking lot, which is directly behind the academy and next to Yosemite Farm Credit, will be open for parking to any band parents.  Please "respond all" to this email to sign-up for what you would like to bring for refreshments.

 

Just a reminder about Saturday.  November 8th is the big band review here in Merced at Golden Valley High School.  I'm hoping everyone has chosen a good time to swing by & check it out.  Fair warning, the parking is usually pretty bad so plan on coming a little early to make up for a bit of a walk.  Students who record 1 thing they liked, 1 thing they didn't like and 1 thing they saw that they can add to their performance this season, will receive bonus points and extra credit.

          God is Good,

                 Bj
