Homecoming Parade and more!

Parents & Guardians,

  My apologies...the homecoming parade for Thursday was not on the calendar!  Times are posted now, and hopefully students have made you aware as well.

  Also, please begin signing up for the New York Trip as soon as possible.  We would like to have our "definite" numbers signed up by Sunday afternoon.  The first payment will be credited on October 9th, but we need to know numbers ASAP.

NYC Meeting

Parents,

  For any of you that were unable to attend last weeks meeting, we will be have a second meeting regarding the NYC trip tomorrow night, Sept. 28th at 7 pm.  If you were able to attend the first meeting, there is no reason to attend again unless you have further questions for Bob Rodgers Travel.

  Please begin signing up for the trip!  We have a few already, but we would like to have an idea of numbers by next weekend.  This will help us finalize the cost, and know the instrumentation we will have available to us!

Lisle game cancelled. Heading home.

The game has been cancelled.  Thank you all for your flexibility.  We will be home about 6 pm, and put an end to a long day.  Great attitudes today by one and all!!!!

LISLE - FINAL INFO

The game has been moved to 5 pm still at Benedictine University.  Per Mr. Baldermann, band, football players, cheer, etc, are released at 2 pm from classes if they need to go home, eat, and/or get their equipment/uniform parts.

CALL TIME IS NOW 3:30 - IN UNIFORM.  Our estimated arrival time home should be approx. 8 pm if weather cooperates and we stay for the entire game as planned.  If there is inclement weather, we will leave for home earlier, and will update the blog.

Mr. Vaughan

LISLE UPDATES

There is a POSSIBILITY the game tonight may be moved to 5 PM.  This would put our call time at the high school at 3:30 PM.  THIS IS NOT ESTABLISHED YET!

This is beyond our control, and we will do our best to feed the students if this is the case.

I will update you as soon as I have the complete information, but please prepare for any contingency.

Thank you!!!

-Mr. Vaughan

Gameday at Lisle

The call time for the band is 5 pm in the band room, in full uniform.  Please do not call the band room asking if we are canceling due to weather.  Any changes to our itinerary will be posted here on the blog by 4:30 PM.  Our plan is to go to the game if it is being played.  We will make accommodations for woodwind instruments if needed.

As always we plan to stay for the entire game.  If weather dictates we are leaving early, we will post here, and have students contact parents.
