Greetings!

It’s been a busy few weeks and we are almost there!  NOTE This week is our week of evening rehearsals 6pm-9pm on the practice lot.  Today is the last day of flamingoing – Let’s get a big push out on foot and VIRTUAL!!  We are just under our goal for flamingoing so a big push is critical!

I want to take a moment to say a big thank you to Paul and Shaun Dubiel for their work on the Ford Test Drive Saturday.  That event is a big workload leading up to the event in planning and a huge commitment for the planners on the day.  They worked tirelessly to make sure our band made additional funds to hit our goals in fundraising that affect not just their child or their child’s section but the entire band.  To them and the parents and families that came out on Saturday to work an hour or two (or all day) or drive a car, I thank you.  Another big thank you goes to former band parent Rickie Eddins and our Band Booster President Marcie Skonieczny for late nights the past two weeks collecting our flamingoing funds.  Thank you for playing these critical roles in our operation!

Monday: (TONIGHT) we have our end of flamingoing celebration!  See separate post for details!

**Before tonights rehearsal the Goldbeck Company will be selling copies of the PANORAMIC PICTURE we too Friday afternoon from 5:45-6:15pm.  Send $25 for the panoramic or $35 for a large laminated and 1 medium panoramic.  Checks, cash or money order accepted – make checks out to the Goldbeck Company.
