 1)  Strawberry Festival week!  A full itinerary for Friday will be available later this week, but we will be taking buses to this event.  If anyone needs to opt out of the bus ride from school (for example, if you are on a float earlier in the parade and need to be there earlier) find Mr. Price or Mr. Johnson and we will discuss that on a case-by-case basis.  The Parade starts at 10 am on Friday and we will be the last band to perform.  If anything changes due to weather, we will communicate that ASAP. 

2)  We are asking for some more water for the parade to keep the students hydrated. Also, we ask that you wash the uniforms since they got pretty stinky in the Teapot parade this past weekend!   

3)  Band Banquet is this Saturday.  Please have the payment in by Tuesday so we can pay for the caterer.
