I'm emailing this morning because I have some updated information for some upcoming events. I also wanted to throw out a quick reminder for new families that we always meet at DHS whenever we have a performance. We also then always bring everyone back to DHS once we are done.
Tomorrow, for the homecoming parade, we've pushed the call time back from 4:00 to 4:30. We're using a new format this year and I have honestly not seen an approximate end time yet, so I'm encouraging everyone to use the extra 30 minutes to grab a bite to eat, in case it runs a little late. For those of you new to the band, we never eat in uniform as the potential dry cleaning costs make it prohibitive. Also, if you plan on attending the parade. It steps off at 6 pm and travels through downtown DeKalb, similar to the route we follow on Memorial Day.
Also, we are hosting a chili dinner fundraiser and are still in need of donations of pop/water to help defray our costs for the fundraiser. If you are able to donate a 12-pack by tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, I'm attaching the official information from NIU regarding the competition on Sep. 28. We will not be following all of those instructions as we'll be using DHS as a warm-up site. Our call is at DHS at 4:00 pm and we will be staying to watch all of the bands that perform after us. There is spectator information in the attachment and hopefully this will help answer any questions that you might have,
Please free to call or email if there's anything you need,
thank you,
Steven Lundin
Director of Bands, DeKalb HS
