HSS Band 2009-10.71 I love a Parade! Help needed with uniforms

Hi Boosters,

We are finishing up measuring the kids for uniforms and hats today at the after-school rehearsal. There are several uniforms (pants especially) that need hemming, minor repairs, etc. Dottie Andrews (the band's own "Betsy Ross") is leading the effort -- but if you can sew at all, and would have time to help out before Monday, please let me know. (Bandlsm@gmail.com -- We'll arrange to get you the clothing. THANKS.

Many, many thanks to those of you who have offered to send in water and snacks, and to those who are chaperoning. (I think I replied to everyone who offered to bring the water/snacks -- if you haven't heard back from me, please send me a reminder email. I apologize -- my 'inbox' got a little full this week --- it it truly WONDERFUL to know how supportive you all are as band boosters; you guys are GREAT!)

Special thanks to Dave Collins for driving the truck and Mike Adams for riding with him.

Chaperones: please remember to wear a Hayfield band boosters shirt. (If you need the proper attire; talk to me and we'll see what we can get you.)

Schedule for the day:

11am - kids report; rehearse & get dressed ( we need a few parent volunteers to help with uniforms)
11:45 - load truck
noon - buses and truck leave
12:45 - arrive at drop-off point (4th & Constitution); parents distribute water & snacks
everyone walks to 7th & Madison (students can eat/drink before parade starts)
2pm -- parade starts; Hayfield is #103 out of 146 parents can go watch the parade anywhere along the parade route (Constitution Ave between 7th and 17th)
approx 4pm parade ends --- everyone meets back at truck/buses at 17th & Virginia -- the remaining water and snacks on the truck can be distributed to kids

Please also see the instructions for students on the band web site (black socks; black shoes; lunch; water; etc.)

It looks like we're going to have a sunny, beautiful day on Monday!

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to get in touch with me.

And, again, many thanks to everyone for your generous and wonderful support.

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
