Band families,
Friday the 13th is our first football game, I hope that is a lucky number for us!! It is also Senior Night. If you are a senior parent, this is the night all the seniors in the band and on the football team get recognized. Parents line up at half-time with their senior and are recognized on the field. Your senior should have filled out a form. More details are below. BOA tickets are on sale at BOA 2019. You can buy prelim tickets now and wait to buy final tickets the day of if you wish or you can buy both. It is general admission and seating but let's all try and sit in the same section if we can. We need to be loud! I will send a Remind once I get there and find the general area most people are sitting. Finally, please note the calendar change for the board/booster meeting. It has been moved to Sept 17th. The board will meet at 6 pm in the band room and the boosters (all parents) will meet at 7 pm in the Orchestra Room. FIRST FOOTBALL GAME AND SENIOR NIGHT: FRI, SEPT 13 - Students report to Band Room after school - Dinner provided! - Bring compression, marching shoes, gloves, and hat boxes to school - The game starts at 7 pm at Blue Valley High School (159th and Nall) - Senior Parents and their students should meet on the track prior to half time (during 2nd quarter) - The band will perform a portion of the marching show (depending on leftover time from Senior night) Students will ride to and from the football game with the band unless other arrangements have been made with Mr. Lesando PRIOR to game night. Mr. Lesando will send a Remind when the band heads back to BVSW. Please do not block the buses or park in the bus lane. Wait for your students in the faculty parking lot. PROPS HELP AND ROADIES NEEDED!! Friday, September 13th Approximately 5:30 First Football Game Meet us at the east entrance to the football stadium at approximately 5:30. You can’t miss us, we have the two big trailers right at the entrance! We can always use help to unload the trailers, move the front ensemble (the pit instruments), the sound system, director stands, and the props into the stadium. It’s Senior Night as well and since several of the “seasoned” roadies have seniors this year we’ll also need some additional help getting set up for the performance at halftime.

Band families,
I hope you all enjoyed Parent Preview and can see now how hard our students are working. Our first game is Sept. 13th. More details to follow next week but please keep this on your radar. Also, BOA in Cedar Falls, IA (Sept 27-28) is quickly approaching. Please book your hotels now. We do not have a group rate at any of the hotels. The students will be staying at Ramada Inn by Wyndham-Waterloo- Convention Center 205 W 4th Street, Waterloo, IA 50701 which, according to Google Maps, is about a 20-minute drive to the dome. An email with more detailed information will be coming out on Monday. REMINDERS Mum orders were due Friday, Aug 30th. If you are late getting your payments in, please email Jenni Daniel and please have them to the payment box, no later than September 4th. This is the last time I will check and I need to get the order to Louisburg Nursery. Please be watching this note for a Sign-Up Genius for “Mums pick up Day” - Saturday, September 21st.
