For all of you avid hunters, we are having our 1st Annual Big Buck Fundraiser. For just a $10 entry fee, if you shoot a big buck during firearms season, you could win a $200 Bass Pro Shops Gift Card! Please see the attached flyer for all the rules. You can print the flyer from here to send in, or you can contact any music student or booster club officer.

We would like to thank all the kids that came and helped wash cars and sell the baked goods yesterday! Even though it was 60 degrees and drizzly, we had a successful event! We appreciate everyone that donated, had their car washed and/or bought our baked goods.

Lunch will be provided Saturday at band camp. We are going to have grilled hot dogs and chips. This will be a good way to finish out all their hard work!

Looking for a few volunteers during the first full week of school to help Mrs. Asbery with the band uniforms. We need help with marking the hems of pants. No sewing will be involved. You just need to know how to fold up the bottom and put some pins in. Please respond to this post or you can private message me. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Final reminder that band camp starts tomorrow! Please bring a sack lunch for the days that go til 3:00 in addition to the following:

What to bring:
> Yourself (awake preferably)
> Your Marching Instrument (school instruments will be assigned on monday)
> a flip folder (if you have one)
> Bottle for water (it will be hot-hydration is our friend)
> Tennis Shoes for marching (NO OPEN TOED SHOES-NO FLIP FLOPS)
> A willingness to have a good time (WE LOVE MARCHING BAND!!)

Booster club will also provide water and chips.
