Weekly Newsletter: 9/6

Good evening all!

How has everyone been adjusting to the first week back to school? It's been a busy one indeed. Hopefully, you all are getting some rest as most of us have a 3 day weekend! No school and work (for some) on Monday!!!!!

Speaking of busy, we have a pretty full week ahead with our booster meeting on Thursday and our preview show on Saturday. We still have lots of asks for the preview show on Saturday. If you haven't already, please sign up to volunteer and or send in snacks via the band app.

Please see notes from Ms. GIlmore below:

• Money is due for dinkles and gloves. Checks can be made out to Joel Smith Music or cash and venmo are also accepted. Dinkles cost $42. Gloves cost $6. Guard shoes cost $52 and guard gloves cost $30. Reminder that financial assistance is available, you just need to ask for it.

• Wednesday rehearsal is a bibbers rehearsal! Returning members please arrive with their bibbers on and cinched. New members should bring their bibbers with them so that they can change into them and have their bibbers adjusted. Everyone should bring pants/shorts to change back into in case it is unbearably humid, like it's been the past couple of days. (Sidenote: HYDRATE WITH ELECTROLYTES!)

  
  

• The memo for Kent Island will come out on Monday, but the schedule for the competition itself is available on MMBA's website so you can start to plan ahead.
