1)   The Breakfast with Santa fundraiser will be this Saturday from 8 to 10 am.  I will have tickets on Monday for Band students to sell.  I will be asking for about 15 student volunteers to work.  Report time for workers will be 6:30 am and we will be done by 10:30.  For everyone else who is not working, I am asking for the following donations to be turned in by Friday to make this fundraiser as profitable as possible:

Woodwinds: Plastic knives, spoons, styrofoam cups and/or plastic cups.

Trumpets:  White milk

French Horns: Sausage patties (frozen pre-cut are the best kind)

Low Brass: Orange Juice

Percussion: Chocolate milk

Guard: Candy canes

Drum Major: Parchment paper for cooked pancake storage.

2)  We are working the Basketball concessions this Tuesday from 5 to 9 pm.  I will need 3 students and 1 or 2 more parents to help with this.  Please let me know if you can help at this game Tuesday night.

3)  Jazz Band will meet Tuesday from 3:30 to 4:30.

4)  The scheduled Parade rehearsal will be this Thursday from 3:30 to 5 pm.

5)  Booster meeting this Thursday to work out the details of the Breakfast with Santa, the Christmas Parade, and to get a head start on next semester.

6)  Christmas Parade on Saturday.  We will meet at Soul's Harbor Church at 3:30 and the parade will start at 4 pm.  You will need to find a ride there and you will need to get your uniform and instrument there.  We will be taking the small band trailer for the drums and Sousaphones that will be parked by the Elementary school by 3 pm.  Wear uniforms and Santa hats - plain red and white with no writing on the hats. Percussion and Guard have specific attire that we have talked about in class (it will be the same attire as in years past).
