We are making a list and checking it twice. We're going to find out who is cheesy and full of a little spice.
Please consider donating an item off the SignupGenius listed below; so all can be merry and bright.

We want hundreds of people to shop in the name of the band on Saturday, November 11th, but they are going to work up quite an appetite. Have no fear because your hospitality crew is here. Just browse the SignupGenius below and find the time frame that best suits your schedule. A full shopper is a happy shopper; so let's do our part to make this Holiday Boutique a huge success!

No matter how you slice it, the Winter Guard needs you! They need whole homemade cakes, pies, breads, muffins, as well as some individually wrapped items such as brownies, cookies, and holiday goodies to sell at the Holiday Band Boutique. If you have caught the holiday bug early, and need an excuse to bake, Winter Guard has the cure for what ails you! You may deliver these delectable desserts to the school on Saturday, November 11th. You can also message Elisa Krug Suiter or Renata Mathias Hallam for special drop off arrangements. Sugar and spice and volunteers so nice that's what little bake sales are made of.

A detailed schedule, including check-in and rehearsal times, will be sent as soon as kickoff time is announced. Below you will find the musical selection attached  that all participants will play. All participants should prepare and bring their music, instrument, lyre. and flip folder with them to the game. Music does NOT need to be memorized. You MUST wear DARK jeans and a red long sleeved tee will be distributed at registration.

Calling all Pit Crew...Let's get loaded!
David Fraser would like to begin to load the semi on Thursday after practice and the balloon release (weather permitting). We will load everything with the exception of the sound cart and golf cart which will be loaded on Friday. Parents, please allow room in your schedule for marchers to gather uniforms and load them on the truck on Thursday. This will make Friday run much smoother since not all Pit Crew members will be riding the buses or in attendance for a full Friday afternoon load.
For those about to Load...We salute you!

Let's ROCK around the Christmas Tree!
We love our Santa Scott Pridemore for putting the tree lot on his shoulders, but he can't do it alone. We need some subordinate Clauses! Scott is also looking for someone to shadow him this year as he will be a senior dad next year and needs to pass the reins to someone else. Don't firget to take a peek at the SignUpGenius and find a shift that works for you. I like my puns intended and my volunteers plentiful; so join me at the tree lot and you can have your elf a merry little Christmas.

We will have a parent/community run through of the show, during our last practice at Eastern on THURSDAY, November 2nd for this season. It is slated for 5:45PM during the course of their normal practice schedule. It will be followed by a balloon release and seniors will address their fellow band mates.
We would like to have it on the field, but the rain the night before may relegate us to the practice lot instead due to safety issues.
