Cumberland Bands Newsletter – 10/10/22

Hello superior band citizens!

We have a busy week, so be sure to catch everything in this post.

COOKIE DOUGH ORDERS

If, by any slim chance, you have not turned in your cookie dough money, then I must have it by tomorrow, Tuesday 10/11/22!

THURSDAY NIGHT GAME

Yes, this year we have a Thursday evening game at home. The band will be participating as it is both a regular-season home game, as well as Senior Night! Let’s send off our seniors with ceremony as we thank them for their years of service!

FRIDAY PRACTICE

As a consequence, we will have our regular practice on Friday afternoon, instead. This should be a regularly-scheduled day, practicing from 3pm to 6pm.

SATURDAY COMPETITION

We’re competing at Mills Godwin HS: 2101 Pump Rd, Richmond, VA 23238.

Take a weather-appropriate change of clothes for after your performance. Wear clothing you can use under your uniform as THERE ARE NO CHANGING ROOMS AT GODWIN HS. Don’t forget black socks. Plan to purchase meals on site (or bring food).
