Appreciate the TAMALE LOVE from the Mustang Band Family! We surpassed our goal of selling 1000 tamales. Our final count was 1006 tamales. Great job everyone! As you know, Band is pricey and this money will help us continue to provide experiences and opportunities for this amazing band of ours.
SENIOR PARENTS:
Many of the organizations that participate in Friday Night Lights are making a poster for their Seniors to hang on the railing or the fence for Senior Night Nov 5. We are going to participate.
--It needs to be a 20x30 white foam poster board with their name, 5-6 pics, and the band logo.
--Kim Bentson sent an email to all the Senior Parents with more details including the band logo to use. ---We are meeting at Bentson's house on Friday, OCT 29 from 6-10 PM to make posters if you are interested.
--Please text Kim at 713-818-7445 if you are unable to make a poster for your Senior. It's a busy time and any way we can help, happy to do that.
--All posters need to be at the Bentson's by noon on NOV 5 so we can hang them in the stadium before the game.
