Additional Comments
Hello!
I don't have much to add this week. Just a reminder to check the band's website for updates and results, and the auxiliary Facebook page for quick announcements.
Yes, the band has a Facebook page! You don't need a Facebook account to see the page, but you do need an account, and you need to "become a fan" if you want instant updates. And pictures? There's a link to the pictures there! http://www.facebook.com/hillwoodband
Many, many thanks to all the parents who helped out at Columbia Saturday!
