Congratulations to the football team for their awesome win over McLean last week! They'll be playing at home tomorrow, Friday the 19th, against Washington & Lee.
I've had some fun feedback about what a great job the band did in the stands last Friday at the game ... and they get the chance to do it again this week. Marching band students should report to the band room by 6:15pm on Friday. No uniforms; dress warmly. The band will perform before the game and in the stands during the game (no halftime show).
We will have just a few items of equipment to take out on the field; we've got two parents lined up to help (thanks Che and Mike A!); and the Dowells have again volunteered to rope off the stands (thanks Bettina and Rob!) ... if any one else can get there early (6:15pm) to help out, please let me know (we could use 1 or 2 more people to get the snacks and water to the field).
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Marching Band Award Dinner last week ... all the food was great; parents - and students - pitched in to help set up, serve, and clean-up; the students did a great job with their presentations; and I was reminded once again how fortunate we are to have Mr. Burke's leadership for the Band program ~ our kids benefit in many ways from participating in band. [NOTE: I have a few spoons and one nice round plastic container - perhaps used for cupcakes? left from the evening --- if you're missing some utensils or plasticware from the dinner, please let me know and I'll return them to you, all nice & clean!]

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine
