Thanks to everyone who came and helped with the alterations to the uniforms last week. It was nice to see so many parents help out and enjoy each others company.

If you are available there will be a last minute effort to finish the uniforms. Julie will be in the band room tomorrow at 8AM to finish and would love some help. (Thursday 10/8)

Tomorrow we will be taking our picture on the front steps of the school. Order forms were sent home last Friday. If you did not get one and would like to order the group picture you can stop by the room tomorrow any time to pick up and fill out and turn in the form. The room is open by 7:15 for jazz band and you are welcome to come any time after that.

Friday we will be having a full dress rehearsal here at school. We will be changing during school and staying after for an hour. This helps find any issues before we have the added stress of our first performance. Also the students start to get used to wearing their uniforms and hats and playing and marching.
