Good afternoon band families,
The band had a great show performance at the Legacy Festival! If you missed it, they will be performing at the football game on Friday and at the Big Cat Marching Festival on Saturday.
A HUGE shout out and thank you to all of you who helped out yesterday, it is much appreciated!
We have some asks as we go into this week…
First and foremost, we are in need of water. We blew through most of our water supply at the Legacy Competition. We are asking for help to fill our chaperone closet with water. If you are able, please drop off bottled water to Mr. Dailey’s office at tomorrow night’s rehearsal OR at Saturday morning’s rehearsal.
Next, this past Thursday we learned that the rental company we use to rent the semi to pull our trailer changed their policies resulting in us being unable to rent from them. If you know of anyone, or have any connections with a trucking company who may be able to help us out, please let me know ASAP. We are trying to get something put together to enable us to use our semi trailer this weekend. Our props and instruments required us to rent 2 large U-Hauls and a flatbed trailer, alongside our existing small trailer. Our semi trailer makes it much easier and safer to transport everything. So if anyone could pass along some info or names, that would be AMAZING!
We are in need of chaperones AND hawk haulers for both Friday’s football game AND Saturday’s competition. If you can help, sign up here:
We will be feeding the students twice on Saturday. We will have a pasta bar lunch at the school before they leave, and pizza at the competition for dinner. Please sign up here to bring food:

A couple of our marching students have designed a sweatshirt to honor their friend Tierny Denke that passed away last March. This is not a fundraiser! This is a memorial to honor Tierny, so if you would like to order one for your student or yourself, here is the order link, the printing run will be closed October 10th: #pink4T sweatshirt order form
