Parents! According to Mr. Smigell, Wednesday's practice is between 7:00am-8:00am with pictures following. If all goes well they could be finished before 9:30am. We need some parental assistance in passing out uniforms and putting them back once the shots have been completed so be prepared to stay the whole time. The photographer may also ask for your help in organizing groups. Please let me know if you wish to help. 517.303.4850.

Band members: Bring water bottles with your name on it so you can take it to the field with you during practice.

CAR WASH UPDATE! The date for the Car Wash has been changed to September 16, same time. This event is open to all band members! As stated previously, you can stay for a four hour shift morning or afternoon, or stay all day if you like. Money earned will be applied to each student account according to hours worked. We are in need of donated towels(and we will need lots and lots!), sponges, car wash detergent, long hoses, buckets and parents to supervise!! The owner is not only letting us use his facility and water that day but any service he receives, he will give 10% to the band boosters. So Parents, if you are in need of an oil change, like me, hold off and have it done that day!! Sign up board on the chalk board.

Tailgate donation update to follow next week for the 9/8 game. Thanks to all who provided the food and served! Many of the kids told me how much they appreciated it. We are in need of water!! They are supposed to be given water after they return into the stands following their opening performance, not when they first arrive to the stadium. After half time they have a brief break from 'the stands' and are on their own if they are hungry or thirsty. Should we have extra water they are definitely allowed to take. Call me if you are interested in donating water. Keep in mind there are approximately 128 band members.

Gosh, I am sure that I am forgetting something!?
