Cumberland Bands Newsletter – 10/24/17

Hello amazing band folks:

Lots of news today.  Please read up on what’s going on.

===COOKIE DOUGH!!!

Cookie dough will be delivered on Thursday, November 2nd.  Details to follow.

===DINNER THEATRE UPDATE

Please make sure all ticket sales are winding up asap, as I need to order the correct amount of food and we’re right up against the deadline.

Let me know if you need me to hold spots for tickets you’re sure you are going to sell!

The kids are doing great, and it’s shaping up to be a wonderful show!

===MARCHING BAND COMPETITION SCHEDULE @ POWHATAN ON 10/28

This Saturday, the marching band will be going to Powhatan for their last competition of the season.  Below is the schedule for the day.  The students wanted to stay through the whole show, so return is a little later than last year.  If your child would like to be picked up from the event earlier than scheduled, then just let me know ahead of time so I can plan for it.

We will be changing into uniform here in Cumberland, then boarding the bus to Powhatan HS.  Please bring enough food or money to be satisfied for the day.  Please bring enough proper clothes to change into to enjoy the evening

9am – Be at the Cumberland Band Room
9:30am – Depart for PHS
10am – Arrive at PHS
10:30am – Warm Up
11:15am – Performance
4:25pm – First Half Awards
9:45pm – Last competing band is done – Load the Bus!
10:15pm – Depart for Cumberland
10:45pm – Arrive at Cumberland Band Room

Remember the following:

1. Please bring enough food or money to be satisfied for the day.  We will not have a chance to eat prior to performance.  After the performance, there are concessions on site for the students to purchase.
2. Return times are my best estimate.  I will use the Remind.com service to narrow down when we will actually arrive home.  I do genuinely believe it will be around the listed time.
3. We will have some unloading to do when we arrive back home, so please allow your child the additional few minutes to ensure the equipment and uniforms are all put away and that the band room is classroom-ready for Monday.  Our usual rule: nobody leaves until everybody leaves.

==========================================

Exciting times! Keep in touch!
