Important: Marching Band info; schedule

Hello Everyone!

First of all, thank you to everyone who came to the concert this week. You should be very proud of your student's accomplishments for this year, and for the seniors, the past four years. It has been a pleasure to work with your students this year, and I am very excited about the 2009-2010 school year!

I have some marching band information for everyone, as I have been getting a lot of questions. Our calendar is online this year. Instructions for accessing the calendar are below. If you are having difficulties accessing it, please email me, and I will help you.

A few upcoming dates everyone needs to know about - and yes, this year all events are at WRHS!!!!!

•Saturday May 16 - Rookie Day 9AM - 12 Noon
This is for all new Rookies to the band and section leaders. If you or your student do not fit into either of these categories, you do not need to attend.

•Tuesday May 26 - Friday May 29 Mini Camp 4PM to 8PM
All Rookies (and all guard) need to be at Mini Camp the entire time. Returning Vets only need to be at Mini Camp from 6PM to 8PM. Rookies should be prepared to march from 4 PM to 6 PM, and everyone should be prepared to play from 6 PM to 8 PM.

•Saturday May 30 Mandatory Student/Parent Meeting 11 AM
This is a meeting for all parents and students, regardless if you are a Rookie or a Vet. Important information about the season will be presented as well as this will be your only chance to order shoes and gloves for the marching season. Following the meeting we will have a potluck picnic. Items to bring will be assigned by class and flyers will be handed out during Mini Camp.

Thanks, and we'll see you on the 30th!

Help needed: Need truck to pull trailer to band banquet

Hi, all;

We have decorated the band trailer with a surprise that will be revealed at the band banquet on May 6.

But to do that, we have to get the trailer pulled up to the Mount Vernon Country Club.

What we need is someone with a truck or SUV who would be willing to take the trailer from WRHS to the banquet and then back to WRHS.

If you can help out, please contact DeWayne Oliver at dewkar@comcast.net.

Thanks for your support.

Still looking for senior pictures for band banquet

As a part of our banquet festivities, we are planning a moment to honor our seniors. We were wondering if anyone has pictures of the senior class through the years they have been in band. Also, we have asked for a senior picture to include, but most of the seniors have not gotten us one. If we could get that by Thursday, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks, and see you at the Banquet!
