PARENT HELP NEEDED!

We need parents at every performance to place the mat and poles and to remove them after the show. Here are the performance dates for the rest of the season:

Friday, 9/26 - Homecoming game - PREGAME performance
Friday, 10/3 - Home Game - HALFTIME performance
Saturday, 10/4 - Clinton Competition - Performance time approximately 1:30
Friday, 10/10 - Game @ Prep - PREGAME performance
Saturday, 10/11 - Pearl Competition - Evening performance
Friday, 10/24 - Home Game - HALFTIME performance
Saturday, 10/25 - MAIS Marching Festival @ JA - mid-afternoon

Friday, 10/31 - Alamodome for the BOA Super Regional

PLEASE mark your calendars and make every effort to support these hard-working students. The band can not take the field without this assistance.

It will be especially helpful if those parents who are traveling to San Antonio are able to help at as many upcoming events as possible, to become familiar with the procedure before the trip. At BOA events, the timing is critical for setup and removal of equipment, and there is NOT time in the schedule for a rehearsal in San Antonio.

Thank you to Catherine Arnold, Cheryl Johnson, and Nikki Williams for providing the pregame meal on Friday.
