Hello Everyone:
As I'm sure you're aware, Saturday is our final competition. As usual, we would like to have some volunteers help move equipment. If you would like to ride the bus with us, please let me know as I kind of think there might be more of you interested in doing that than normal. If you'd like to meet us there, that's great too, please just let me know.
Also, for people who are planning on driving down, I'm wondering if someone might be willing to stay for the awards ceremony. We have decided to bring the band home after our performance so that we can actually get home on Saturday (hopefully). Awards will not end until about 10:00 pm for those of you who might consider staying. You'd likely still be able to arrive home close to when the busses do, given the travel time of the buses.
Music Boosters still needs volunteers to help provide lunch to CRMS, HMS, and DHS band members at the end of the Pumpkin Parade! Volunteers will meet at Southeast School in Sycamore at 11:00, and preparations will be done in time for you to watch the parade. Then you will return to the school to help serve. Please notify Carol Lee Duffin at duffincl3@yahoo.com or 815-754-1479 if you can help.
Lastly, pep band games have been added to the calendar. For those of you who are new to this, students are assigned to one of two bands. They are then required to attend all but 2 of the games for that band (they can miss any 2 without penalty). They may also makeup games as well if needed. One band will mostly play on Tuesday nights and one band will mostly play on weekends. Our schedule is relatively light this year and the weekend band will actually have to play 3 Tuesdays, because there are many more weekday games this year. If your child has a preference on which band they should be in, please make sure they know this by next week when I start placing students into pep bands.
Thanks everyone for your continued support (and thankfully we're almost done with the busiest part of the season).
Mr. Lundin
