Henry County Marching Patriots
Fridge Magnet - Week of October 12, 2015
IMPORTANT!!!
It is with great sympathy to announce that Mr. Wilbur Farmer’s home burned down
this past weekend. It is a total loss. Luckily, no one was injured but everything was
lost. Wilbur has been our trailer driver since before I got here. If you have ever
spoke with him, you will know that he is one of the most polite people you could
meet and is always here to support the band.
I am asking the band family to come together to help him in his time of need. We are
asking each student to donate $5.00. If you are unable to donate, I understand. If
you feel inclined to donate more please do. Let’s show Wilbur how much we love
and appreciate him. Please turn in your donations to Mr. Nelson by Wednesday of
this week. I would like to present this to him as soon as possible. Thank you!!!

Save the Date - Black Out Show and Senior Night!
Immediately following our next home game, on October 23, we will perform our “Black Out” show. This performance will be performed in the complete dark, while all the students are covered in glow sticks and lights. Due to Halloween you will need to begin buying glow sticks and lights now. I recommend that you attach them to your street clothes prior to arriving to the game that day, that way when you change, they are already attached (safety pins are the easiest way to attach). We will only have about 30 minutes to get change and get ready for the performance after half time.
Here are a few sites that you can purchase glow sticks and other items:

Remember, be creative…and the more glowing items you have, the better!
