First of all, I won't know until tomorrow if the game will be called. But keep your ears and eyes open for that announcement. I will let everyone know as soon as I know.
Right now though, there is a change for tomorrow. The game has been changed to a Double Header, and the National Anthem will be played at 5:00. I am trying to get a bus to get the students down there where you can pick them up anytime after we finish the national anthem. But just in case, I may need some of you to who can drive some students in your car/minivan to prepare for that. I understand that most of you work and can't do it, and that's why I need the few of you who can to help us out if we need it.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and I will let everyone know the procedure for honoring tickets in case of a rainout. Thanks!
*Update* I was able to get a bus. The bus will take them to the game, but they will need to be picked up from the game. The bus will not take them back to the school.

Leadership Positions
As we prepare for next year, one of the things we must do is fill the leadership positions. Any band or guard member currently in high school can get a leadership application from me. Also, any students interested in trying out for Drum Major needs to see me so we can set up the audition process.
