Recap: Owasso
The band made a trip to Tulsa for the Owasso Invitational Marching Competition on Friday, September 29th for a competition on September 30th. The band showed solid teamwork and effort on and off the field. While it was hard work, everyone seemed to have a great time. As always, the band was supported by a fantastic group of parents and Directors. Thank you Owasso Chaperones, Truck Drivers, Uniforms, First Aid and Families that drove on their own!

Upcoming Truck Loading and Driving
We will be loading trucks this weekend immediately after Saturday morning’s practice on October 14th, approximately 11am. It’s been great getting a lot of help this year, and hope you can make it again this weekend.
In preparation for the BOA competition next week, we will load on Thursday, October 19 immediately after practice, approximately 530pm.
If you would like to experience driving one of the band trucks this year, please let Dave Andrzejewski or Kurt Leeman know. We have 3 competitions left this year and our driver slots are full. However, nearly all these slots are Dads who have senior band members and will not be here to drive next year (we promise, they won’t). We will make room for you to help with any or all of these upcoming weeks. You can also reach Dave and Kurt by phone or text – Dave 314-308-0698, Kurt 314-604-4577.

Fundraising Update
TJs Pizza Order Pick up is THIS WEEK on Thurs, Oct 12th at 5:30! Everyone who sold items as part of the TJ’s fundraiser should plan to come to the band room entrance to pick up their items and order forms. The order will be frozen and must be picked up on time so the food will not thaw. Most people bring coolers to help transport the items home or to be delivered to their customers right away. THERE IS NO STORAGE for any left-over orders – it is your responsibility to arrange for them to be picked up Thursday on time.
Mark Your Calendars!
We have scheduled Dinner with the Band to take place on Tues, Nov. 7th! This event raises funds toward the general band fund and is an essential part of meeting our budget for the year. Please mark your calendars for this fun and lively event! More details will come out in next week’s Spirit Notes with an order form for tickets ($10 each).
We’ve added an additional Individual Fundraiser! Next week on Oct 18th, we will pass out forms to the students for a Butterbraid sale that will last through the end of the month. Product will be delivered prior to Thanksgiving so customers will have their items for family gatherings. These products always sell well and all profits will go to the seller’s band account.
HOT HOT HOT!!! More Water Bottle Needed
The warmer weather has not disappointed and we are going through a lot of water during each competition. Even though the weather will be getting cooler (hopefully!), hydration is very important. Even if you have donated already, please consider bringing another case of water to the band. Thank you!
