This will be an extremely long day and it is imperative that students take care of themselves this week, especially Friday night. The band will be released after Half-time to go home and sleep to prepare for Valhalla. Please make sure everyone does this so we can have a better chance at excellence on Saturday.
Please do your best to travel to these competitions. We need the support in the stands. We are not the home town favorite there and your cheers help us to perform better. You are a part of the show when you make yourselves heard. Any parents that want to ride the bus to support the band may do so. We have a bit of room this year. It isn't comfy, but it is a ride!
