BAND... TEN-Hut!!! Now read this!!!
I hope that everyone has enjoyed Spring Break thus far. My road trip to my TX family was great over the Easter weekend. On my way home, I spent some time with a Band family from my younger band director years. It is not easy to say goodbye to a former student.
Now back here at home, it has been nice to have a day or 2 of "down time", what ever that means.
Big thanks and shout outs to the dads, moms, and band kids who all worked,.. I mean WORKED!... to haul, assemble, decorate, and test our booth for the Strawberry Festival. Hats off to the Strawberry Festival Board members, especially Mr. Craig and My. Jimmy for stopping by to lend a helping hand! Thank you to all of you moms, dads, band members for all of your "blood, sweat, and tears" in problem-solving, ingenuity, and tenacity in putting "the Taj Mahal" together.
Now what need want is for everyone to pitch in, work your shifts, recruit a little more help for the shifts the need more warm bodies, and use your nice-polite smiley bestest friendly customer service manners in serving our guests all throughout the weekend.
Here's the parade information. Downbeat is 8:23 fully dressed. WE will be ACROSS Hwy 22 from Mi Patio, on South Barone Street. Look for the trailer. (PJHS Band and some other folks will meet at Mi Patio..NOT US!!) We will be ACROSS Hwy 22 from Mi Patio (folks from my generation will know it as the old Bootsy's). If you need to be dropped off, I suggest coming in from Esterbrook Road/ South 1st Street, to avoid having to walk acroos the HWY! SAFETY FIRST, y'all! Warm-up and musical rehearsal needs to start at 8:33. We will end at Perrin School, after we make the turn on 7th Street.
Please remember that you are representing the best in the youth generation of our community. We adults, especially me, know that you will make us proud.
See you all soon at the festival park ( I know.. I call it the fairgrounds!) and ON TIME for the parade. Let's show up and show out!!
