Pick up a donut at the tailgate (only light snacks available before the game).Goto the "Stealth Field" People will be there to show you. UNIFORM FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS TO BE DETERMINED BY THEIR MS DIRECTOR (Mr. Stimson/Mr. Marzewski). It will probably be something like a Howell Band shirt and either jeans or shorts.

Couple of other facts:

HSMB will be wearing their actual Marching Uniforms. The forecast is still favorable at this time. HOWEVER, PLEASE BRING YOUR 07-08 BAND SHIRT AND KHAKI SHORTS IN CASE THE WEATHER IS DIFFERENT. Please do not worry, we will not bake you! (or your child)

HSMB will be fed at the early tailgate (menu and details to come soon). Only snacks will be provided for everyone at the later tailgate (Again, more info to come)

Ok.. In reference to all of the people waiting for audition postings, they might come tonight, they might be up tomorrow on the blog. I will try hard to add them up tonight.

Also.... please mark oct 9th on your calendar... HSMB has MARCHING FESTIVAL THAT DAY.

Finally, Angie Kimball (bagpiper teacher extraordinaire) is back in town. Josie and Kaitlyn are currently our only two pipers (glad to have them!). We need a few more pipers! Angie is giving lessons and has asked me to post her contact #s:
