HSS Band 2009-10.16b Invitation to participate in Memorial Day Parade in Washington DC !!

Hi Band Family,

Two items from Mr. Burke:

1) Is there is a mom who would like to head up our concert dress sizing-ordering for the high school? It would take a couple of visits during 3rd and 4th period band classes, taking the checks from the kids, and getting a check from Sabrena Capel. If you can do this, please email Mr. Burke and me (NOTE - 3rd period is 8:20a-10a on orange days; 4th period is 10:30a-12:15p on blue days).


2) We have been asked by Congressman Moran to have our marching band participate in the Washington D.C. Memorial Parade at the end of May, 2010. The students are excited about performing downtown, possibly on local t.v. I would like to ask the parents of the marching band students if they can reserve that weekend to have their child here. It's a three-day weekend, and many people reserve that for family time. I don't want to show up with only 20 students for such a prestigious event. It's an important parade locally, and we are very proud to be asked by Congressman Moran. I need to give the Congressman an answer soon.

What a great opportunity for our marching band! If you go to the band booster blog at http://www.hayfieldbandboosters.blogspot.com/ you can respond to a poll about whether or not you're available.

Watch for future emails with details about Saturday's competition at Herndon; and the band booster meeting next week: Thursday, October 1.

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
