The week of Oct. 12 is a big week for the band, with two competitions, including the all-important Metro Regionals, which will help determine if the band moves to quarter-final competition on Friday, Oct. 23. (And of course, they will.)
In addition, the band boosters is sponsoring a parent get-together on the night of Tuesday, Oct. 13, where we will make sack lunches for Metro Regionals and also discuss plans for one of the band's biggest traditions, Night Before State.
First, the parent get-together. On Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. in the band room, we will be making sack lunches for Metro Regionals and talking about Night Before State. It is important that we get as many parents as possible to attend. And we hope to see new faces! Please notify Arlene (arlene.bloom@comcast.net)if you can attend.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Night Before State, it's a time for the band members to get together on the evening of Oct. 23 at the school and prepare for the semi-final competition that will take place the following day. There are always some special activities that make the evening an extraordinary event. Again, the more parents who can help out, the more enjoyable Night Before State will be for our students.
Next, Metro Regionals, which will take place on Thursday, Oct. 15, at Littleton Public School Stadium at 199 East Littleton Blvd. (South Broadway and Littleton Boulevard on the campus of Littleton High School. It's the same location where the Arapahoe Invitational took place.
Again, parking will be at a premium. We haven't heard if the vacant lot that was available to parents during the Arapahoe competition will be available for Metro Regionals. We'll send more information as it becomes available.
Finally, the Friendship Cup, which will take place Saturday, Oct. 17 at the Everly-Montgomery Stadium at Longmont High School. The school is located at 1040 Sunset Street in Longmont.
For these events, as always, we need your help.
Specifically, we are need of bus chaperones, Pit Crew help and Color Guard help for both Metro Regionals and Friendship Cup. If you can help, e-mail or call the following people:
Arlene Bloom at arlene.bloom@comcast.net or call (303) 946- 4425, if interested in helping with students and chaperoning.
Beth Chandler at bthchandler@comcast.net or call (303) 949- 0477, if interested in helping out with Color Guard.
DeWayne Oliver at dewkar@comcast.net, if interested in being part of the Pit Crew.
Please let us know as soon as possible so we are sure that we have enough help for these events!
For those of you who might not be able to help out at events but would like to help out in a way that is more flexible with your time, we really need help with washing uniforms and gauntlets. After the Friendship Cup on Saturday, Oct. 17, and before the following Friday, Oct. 23, we will need to wash all the uniform jackets. They are simple to wash in the machine on delicate, cold water, with use of a non- chlorine stain remover. The more help we have, the easier it will be to do this. Please email or call Arlene Bloom if you are able to help out with this. We want the students to look their best at the Finals Competitions! If you can donate some washing time, please let Arlene know.
As always, your help and support is greatly appreciated!
