Fresno Band Review

Just a reminder that the Fresno Band Review is this Wednesday, Oct 3rd.

Students will be leaving class around 11:30 so please make sure teachers know and that your child takes care of any missed assignments that will take place while they are gone from class.

If you are a driver please make sure you have all paperwork into the office and Mr. Humpal prior to Wednesday.

If you child needs a ride please let Mr. Humpal know ASAP so he can make sure he has enough drivers.

Any adult that drives will get free admission into the Fresno Fair as well.  If you do not want your child to stay for the fair please let Mr. Humpal know so that he can make sure there are enough seats for early returning students as well.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please direct them to BJ Humpal.

Meeting Reminder

Hello band,

We've started the year!  If you haven't heard, the Our Lady of Mercy Marching band had their first parade (in 101 degree weather) and they did awesome!  We even had 100% attendance to start the year off right. I hope we can keep this record going!
 
This Wednesday, September 26th from 6:30-8 pm in the band room is our next band booster meeting. We have much to discuss and prepare for.  At least one adult representative for every marching band student is requested.  Remember, this meeting counts toward volunteer hours.
 
There is strength in numbers.  The Bible tells how a rope of three cords is not easily broken.  The same is true for our band program.  I and the faithful band parents will continue to do our best efforts to make this a successful and worthwhile program.  If you could help, in any way possible, that would make our job that much easier, and in turn, make the marching band program better.

Praise be to God,
Bj
