Water and Haunted House
1) I am asking that students bring bottled water this week to replenish our supply for the next couple of games and contests. Everything else at this Thursday's game will be taken care of.
2) David and Doley Watlington are working a room for the Haunted House in Medina, and have asked for some help. This would be a fun, easy fundraiser for us if we can get 4 to 5 people signed up each night. The dates are October 17, 18 ,19, 24, 25, 26, and 31. I realize that these fall on mostly Fridays and Saturdays, and while we are in St. Louis. But if you just happen to be free any or most of those nights and are willing to work, please let me know.

Announcements 10/2/13
1) I have received word that the contest this weekend will go on rain or shine. If it rains in the morning and then stops early afternoon, the contest will not have a finals portions, just a "one-and-done" competition just like the Crusader Invitational this past weekend. If it rains all day, we will simply go to the Gym and play while standing still for the judges.
2) Our tentative performance time at The Crockett County contest on Oct. 26 is 7 pm. That could possibly change slightly if a couple of bands are added, but it will be close to that time.
3) Band Booster meeting this Thursday. We will discuss the St. Louis trip, the upcoming Fruit fundraiser, and our plans for the next few contests.
4) Please get the money in for the St. Louis trip by the end of the week. If you are not sure how much more you owe, email me and I will let you know. Thomas Tours is insisting that we get this paid ASAP so that they can get the final arrangements made and paid for.
5) I want to thank the parents that helped out with the props this weekend. Two of the judges gave compliments on how the parents turned the props and fired the cannons without being noticeable. More than that complimented on how good the props looked. Everyone loved the cannons!
