Homecoming and a competition this week!
The schedule for the week is on the band web site (and below).
On Friday, the marching band students will stay after school. The boosters will feed them pizza and dessert; they will participate in a parade through the Hayfield Farm neighborhood at 5pm. When they return from the parade, they'll get ready for the football game (uniforms, etc.) as usual. At halftime, they'll participate in the Homecoming Activities, and then, after the football game, they'll perform their marching band show.
In addition to the usual volunteers for the football game, we need:
- volunteers to help serve pizza and drinks (setup around 3pm; serve 3:30-4:30; clean up)
- volunteers to send in desserts (about 4-5 people sending in 1-2 dozen cookies/brownies/etc.)
On Saturday, the performance is at 3pm; students report to our field to rehearse by 11:15am; parent volunteers are needed around noon when the students will dress in uniforms and we'll load the truck. Because of the Homecoming Dance that evening, the band will return to Hayfield directly after their performance; we'll need volunteers when they get back around 4:30 to help stow equipment and uniforms. (Thanks to all of you who have signed up on SignUpGenius for the competition; I've updated the site to reflect that the times have been set.)
