PRESIDENT'S CORNER - Martha Ray
Thank you to all the parents for your help Friday night at the football game! It was great to see such a strong show of support from the parents! And, it was fun to watch the band perform for the first time in front of a good crowd. (I thought they were amazing!)
Thanks too for your financial contributions to the Band Boosters! We’ve sold quite a few football passes. (I still have passes available. If anyone else wants one, just let me know.)
Finally, I wanted to thank the McDaniel family for donating a large supply of bottled water to the Band. We appreciate your helping in this way.
Enjoy your long Labor Day weekend next weekend and we’ll regroup for the MRA game on September 10th. See you then!
