Updates for week of October 17th

Congratulations to our hard working band on their performance at MCI Saturday!
As our journey continues to see how far we are going to take our Infinite Horizons, there are a few extra opportunities to fine tune the performance this week.  After early dismissal on Wednesday, 10/19, we will practice 12:00 - 3:30.  And instead of traveling to the away football game on Friday (10/21), we will practice 3:30 - 7:00.


Contest of Champions is this Saturday. Schedule to be released soon.  This contest has all bands perform in the afternoon in the preliminary competition.  They will then select the top 8 to return for finals competition after a dinner break.  


We will serve dinner during the break and then go to the finals. In order to help all our parent volunteers, we are offering them the opportunity to also eat with the band.  In order to plan for these additional meals, any adult wishing to eat MUST purchase a meal ticket Tuesday at practice for $5.  Unfortunately only people who present their ticket will be able to eat with the band.  See Libby or Ann.

For parents traveling to Memphis, you may reserve a room by submitting a check for $95 (payable to Siegel Band) directly to Tim Bowling.  This is the total cost for 1 room. You may have up to 4 family members in one room. We are staying at the Memphis Marriott East.  More details will follow.  In order to make sure we have enough rooms, we have booked a block of rooms.  Therefore, we need your room reservations submitted to Tim as soon as possible so we can make sure we have enough rooms or turn any unsold rooms back over to the hotel.  By reserving a room with us, you are getting a lower room rate than normal, plus helping our negotiating process with the hotel.

Please remember to sell fruit!
