From Mr. Chester and Mr. Shepherd:

Dear Parents & Band Members,

Thanks to all of you who helped make our WSMV cool Schools performance successful by providing time, talent, and energy for all the little things you take care of.  Attached is the gig sheet for Saturday.

Due to mitigating circumstances we will need to change our plans slightly.  Please be flexible...

We will not return to Hillwood after our performance but rather will spend the day enjoying other bands and let the students relax instead of rehearse.  Our main reason for doing this is that it is a fundraiser for Overton it would come across as rude if we were to just up and leave.  Again I apologize for the need to change plans.

One more up-to-date change:  If you plan on tail-gaiting there is a designated area in which to do that at Overton.  There is a small cost involved (I believe its $6.00 for tailgate parking per car).  Otherwise we cannot have our normal spread like we have had in the past as they want us to contain it in their designated areas.

Thanks to all for your hard work!
