MB Banquet Slide Show: The MB banquet is scheduled for November 9, and Bao Nguyen has volunteered to put together a slide show for the dinner. If you have pictures you'd like to share with him, you can put them on a CD and send them to band. (Please deliver to Bao's daughter, Vina.)

(Looking Ahead) MB Senior Slide Show: Mark Sudik has volunteered to put together the senior slide show for June, and can start collecting pictures of your senior now (a baby picture and a senior picture). (If you're getting something together for the yearbook, now's a good time to send something to her as well. FYI SR Parents: Last day to order yearbook ads is Oct 15) If you can email digital images, that's best. msudik@cox.net

Many, many thanks to Bao, Karen Dubay, Che Russell, Jean Martelli, and Mike Adams for contributing to the Shutterfly site; we've got some wonderful pictures from this band season!

MANY THANKS!
The marching band gave another great show at Friday's game last week, and contributed to a fun evening w/ their music before and during the game. Great job, students and directors! And a special note of congrats to the Middle School students who participated and did a great job too; it looks like we have a promising future for marching band!

And, amazing teamwork by our Band of Volunteers! There's a lot of equipment and instruments to move around, and we truly need every volunteer - I always fear I'm going to leave someone out, but many thanks to all these stellar parent volunteers: Che and Atsuko; Ed and Sabrena C; Mike A; Mike R; Jeff and Sundik; Richard; Kevin and Donna; Sol and Jocelyn - and son, Thomas!; Rob; Michelle; Dottie; Linda; Ralph; Robert ... with thanks to these families for contributing snacks & water: Rodriguez, Capel, Taylor, Gardner, Fabre, Russell, John, and Valdez.

FYI - Don't forget to check out the band booster blog now & then for more info: there are links to upcoming events (such as competitions); and other information. http://www.hayfieldbandboosters.blogspot.com/

Lastly - I received some nice feedback from a parent who was running the bleachers over the weekend for exercise; she pointed out that the cleanest section of the stands by far is the Band Section -- so, hats off to all the students (and the parents who help) for being thoughtful and responsible.

I look forward to seeing you at the booster meeting on Thursday.
