  ATTENTION :  Marching Band & Middle "C" Parents & Students...! All Marching Band members' parents were just mailed information about the proposed March 16th-19th St. Patrick's Day Parade trip in N.Y.C.  The mailer also included information and a registration/payment page for the upcoming end-of-the-season Marching Band Dinner and Banquet on November 20th. PLEASE discuss the trip as a family as soon as possible and return the Trip Questionnaire to the band office by Wednesday, October 5th as we need to finalize our plans that include motor coach transportation hotel accommodations, restaurant reservations and tickets for ferries and shows.   This is a "PERFORMANCE TRIP", meaning that, even though we'll do some sightseeing, it's mainly for the parade and other performances, and that is the reason why we really need everyone on board .  Please call the band office at 740-625-6055, ext. 2185 if you have any concerns or questions.
