Hello everyone!
We got some of the details on Friday's football game and how many spectators there can be from our group. Here it is in a nutshell:
Around 200.
This translates into 1 ticket per participant if they are in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade, and 2 tickets per child if they are in 12th grade. I think if you do the math you will find that this is very very generous. There can be 1000 people total at the football game, and Brighton gets 300 on their side. Between our 200 tickets and the 140 in the band, we are going to occupy almost exactly half of Howell's allotment.
We will be holding our senior ceremony at the MB Live show on 10/21 the following week. They held their ceremony at a different time as well. That is a decision that we as a band staff made. If we had tried to squeeze it in at the football game it would have been too rushed and stressful. This way we can take our time and do it right at our own show.
The tickets will be given to your child at practice next Wednesday. IF YOUR CHILD LOSES THAT TICKET, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COME TO THE GAME. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. If you have a child that constantly loses/forgets things you need to have a little convo with them about responsibility (I used to be that child so I am warning everyone in advance) and the importance of not losing the ticket.
Much, much, much more info will be forthcoming on Monday, but I wanted you to get the most important info less than 24 hours after we received it. (We got it at noon yesterday, so I made it just under the wire!)
Ok, you folks are great, and your kids are awesome! Keep hanging in there! There are some cool things on the way I think everyone is going to enjoy (and be proud of).
