Squad Leaders, all marching band drills will be available in the band room on Tuesday, July 1, 2008, from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. If you are not available to pick them up, they will be available at the band practice on Monday July 7, 2008

We need your help please! Overseeing the band uniforms is a big job for just one or two people to handle throughout the school year. We are in need of a committee of at least 6 -10 parents to help with our band uniforms for the 2008-09 school year as well as someone to oversee the committee. This would entail 3 or 4 people helping with the uniforms before & after the band shows, parade, as well as other band events, and having the committee do light mending such as sewing on buttons, snaps, changing hems in pants and tacking the hat flaps as needed and helping with the initial fitting of uniforms. Many hands make light work so please consider becoming involved with the band in this way.

If you can help or have any questions, you may contact Sandra Torres at 225-8296, Debbie Boyle at 282-6001 or 326-2354, or the band office at 326-2356.
