Tomorrow is the big day!

It will be a cold day. According to the Weather Channel at performance time, 6:00pm, it will be 44 degrees with a feels like temperature of 37 degrees and partly cloudy with some wind. By 9:00pm it will be 38 degrees with a feels like temperature of 33 degrees and clear with some wind.

DRESS WARM AND IN LAYERS! After the performance the kids will change into jerseys and jeans and layer over that. Bring coats, gloves, hats, ear warmers, blanket, etc.

Remember to bring money for dinner. If you preordered a dinner, we will pick that up at 7:00. A chaperone or myself will go with the kids to pick up the meals.

Chattanooga is on EASTERN TIME.

It will also be cold here in the morning for rehearsal at 8:45. Dress warmly! Bring your band hat.

Report back to the band room at 12:30. We will leave at 1:00. We hope to be back in Madison around 10:30. And fortunately for us we get to turn the clocks back an hour.

Lastly, make sure your uniform, shoes, shoelaces, gloves are clean! There will be field judges at this competition.

Sleep well tonight and we will see you tomorrow!

Good morning!

In my rush to get to the game last night, I forgot to attach the pecan order form. So here it is! Our pecans are so popular, that people in Madison are still asking for them.

The order is due on Tuesday!

Have a wonderful day!

Hi everyone,

I’m getting Cindy to send this to everyone again since some of you may still be making up your minds as to whether you’re going to Chattanooga Saturday or not. Tickets are still available – or will be as long as they do indeed get here tomorrow as promised!

I will put the list below so you can see if your name is here or not. If it is not and you want tickets please e-mail me to let me know how many and I’ll have them for you with everyone else’s.

The first 50 were sold Tuesday. The others still need to be paid for and picked up. I will be at the band room Friday at 4:00 for you to get yours. Each ticket is 13.00 – I found out children under 7 will be admitted free so no ticket will be necessary for children 6 and under.

You may pay cash for the tickets or write checks to USBands. If you cannot get to school between 4 and 5:30 Friday, please let me know how we can get together for you to get your tickets. Saturday rehearsal may be an option. LouJ77@aol.com or 256-830-8319.

Oh! The new Spirit Wear is in too! We will TRY OUR BEST to have it available for sale Friday afternoon as well. It will be chilly (okay, maybe downright cold) Saturday, so get your hoodies, sweatshirts and blankets! Who knows? You might be able to sneak in a little Christmas shopping!

AND FINALLY – Pecans. I called the company to find out about how long the orders are taking to turn around. Weather is their biggest factor. It needs to be cold for shipment so the candied won’t melt and the plain pecans won’t get rancid. Guess what? It’s supposed to be cold – yes, even in south GA! They told me if I placed the order yesterday they would ship Monday! If I order next week any day, they will likely ship the next day! YIKES! How would you like to take more orders? You may have already exhausted your sources, but if you would like to make one last plug, go for it between now and Tuesday. Get the order forms and money in to the band room TUESDAY during the school day! I’ll attach the order form here for you to use. This is NOT a requirement – just an offer.

I think that is all – really wasn’t intending to throw it all at you but did! I’ll see some of you tonight at the game and some tomorrow! I’m signing off and will put the list below. Be sure to get in touch if I can be of service in any way.

Dear Parents,

We sold out of tickets for Saturday very quickly! Lou Justice has been working with US Bands to get more tickets to us to accommodate those who would like to purchase tickets. They are willing to help us get more tickets at a discount.

If we have enough interest, they will overnight the tickets to us and you can pick them up on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.

If you would like tickets, your response to this e-mail will be a promise to purchase them if we can get them. They will cost $13.00 (a three dollar discount).

Please e-mail Lou Justice at LouJ77@aol.com, to let me know that you would like to purchase tickets and how many you would like. Hopefully, If we get enough, we will be able to justify (in their eyes) the extra expense of the over night charges that will be incurred to get them to us.

Please get in touch with Lou now!

Also, there are a few seats left on the bus. The cost is $20. If you are interested, please let Cindy know. cindyleaphart@gmail.com

Thank you,

Lou
