HSS Band 2009.10-25 Oakton - play indoors if rain; Thanks for help

Hi Band Boosters,
Thanks to everyone who offered to fill in volunteer positions for this Saturday. Our list now looks like this:

Bus Chaperones: Dottie Andrews, Donna Baetsen
Uniforms (11:30am): Dottie, Davon, Sabrena, Sandy
Uniforms (6:30pm): Dottie, Davon
Equipment: Mary, Nick, Dwayne, Don, Dave, Ralph, Che, and student helpers

The competition will be held rain or shine; if it's raining hard enough, they'll move the bands indoors to the gymnasium. Spectators can watch in the gym during our performance; after our performance, band kids and parents can go to cafeteria and watch on a live feed.

You can check the Oakton web site for information about tickets, parking, etc. http://oaktonbands.com/classicvisitorinformation.cfm (Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for kids 5-12 and Seniors)

Students should remember to bring drinks, lunch and snack money. PLEASE dress for the weather. (It sounds like if the rain isn't heavy, Oakton will try to have bands perform outdoors.)

In case there are any changes to the schedule, keep checking the band web site, and I'll send an email if I hear anything.

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
