Friday Night Football Game Reminders

*  We're looking for an ATV or Mule to pull Pit equipment during football games and contests.  If you, or someone you know, has one we could borrow, please contact someone on the Executive Board.

*  Each student is responsible for bringing hospitality items for each home game.  It would be helpful, but not necessary, for sections to coordinate their purchases.  Remember, we have to feed 70 Father Ryan band members and their directors, as well as 55 of our own band members and staff/directors.

This Friday, we need the following items:
     Woodwinds - small (clear) plastic dessert plates
     Brass - assorted pre-packaged cookies (one package per student)
     Percussion - "finger" fruit (grapes and bananas work well; no apples or oranges, please)
     Color Guard - small (clear) plastic beverage cups

*  For those attending football games: we noticed that the gate fee this year is $6 per adult.  Since there are only 4 home games this year, season passes will not be available.  Last year's price was $20. Don't forget your gate fee Friday night!

*  Parents, we are still in need of volunteers/chaperones.  Please stop by the indoor concession stand if you are able to help.

*  Parent volunteers/chaperones green golf shirts will be available Friday at 5:00 by the indoor concession stand.  Cost is $10 for S-XL and $15 for XXL-XXXL. We have several small and medium shirts left, but only one XL.  If you would like to pre-order a shirt, please let me know.

* Pizzas for Friday evening will need to be preordered: $5 per pizza, or  $2 per slice.  See Mr. Gaulle before the end of rehearsal Thursday night to get your order in.  He'll have them to the school in plenty of time for you to eat and get ready for Call Time.  (Don't forget drink money to get a drink out of the vending machine.)
