Greetings!
We are looking forward to seeing EVERYONE tomorrow morning! Freshmen were great on Friday and percussion and guard have been at it for a week now. Everything’s up and running! One theme that will become very clear as you read this email is to operate the Trojan Band we need lots of parent help!!!! Please don’t assume others will do it, step up and get involved! Every little bit helps us to run a smooth Trojan Band organization and helps to keep your students SAFE and happy.
We are in desperate need of parents to sign up for ice rag shifts. Every day at 11am out on the parking lot we take an ice rag break to cool the students down. We need some parent volunteers (just to take a shift….you don’t have to do it every day) to take these rags home – throw them in the washing machine, and bring them back the next day. RIGHT NOW ONLY 3 shifts are taken fore the entire 3 weeks!! This is a matter of safety – please take a shift otherwise our kids will not get their 11am ice rags out in the heat!!.

Tomorrow is the BAND FAMILY PICNIC! The post card said 6pm, but you can start dropping off food at 4:30. Students will be released at 5pm and the serving line will start at 5:15pm. I would get there as early as possible….the kids are usually HUNGRY and if you arrive later you may miss out on some of those delicious pot luck dishes!! At 6:00pm I will talk to everyone and give information for the year – you won’t want to miss this info session! At 6:30pm we will release the flamingo teams to go start flamingoing! Everyone goes on the first night – so please help your kid’s section out by being a driver. Confused about what flamingoing is? CLICK HERE for an explanation about FLAMINGOING!!
We need help with the uniform committee – and I mean REALLY need help!!! This is great because you meet other parents and get to know the kids and directors as you are fitting for uniforms. This is a hard category to fill so please hop on board – you do not need ANY experience to help us out!!! Just helping hands! CLICK HERE to sign up to help with a uniform fitting shift!
