Hi All,
WOW! September is here! The beginning of school is almost upon us and you know what that means, FOOTBALL and TAILGATING! For any "newbees" out there here's how is goes; starting Sept. 11 and for the next three games, we are at home. As a band parent for the past 6 years, tailgating is the funnest part of it. We, as the "band parents" help to provide food for our totally awesome marching band students. Here is the menu for the home games: Tacos--Sept 11; Hot Dogs & Hamburgers--Sept. 18 & Chicken--Sept. 25, (which is also Homecomming!) Our last home game, which is not until the middle of October will be "The Senior Show". More details to follow on that later. Here is what I need from you guys: donations of the food and drinks. For the Taco meal, anything from cheese, lettuce, tomatoe, taco sauce, nacho chips, to desserts. Please let me know what you would like to bring or I suggest something for you to brings, so we don't any up with too many duplicates. Here is how the Tailgating goes: the kids pratice for about an hour right after school, we feed them and then they get into uniform. Parents are totally invited to stay for the tailgating and "party with the band"!
We are are also asking for donations of water for the kids as that is needed for them in the stands during the game, althought we have plenty for the first game! Here is my e-mail: dnrchappel@prodigy.net and my cell phone #517-304-0537 or home phone #517-552-7463. Please let me know if you have any questions at all,
