Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our informational meeting last night for NASHVILLE! No problem to those who were not able to attend!  I am so excited about this trip!  A lot of time and planning has gone into finding the best price that can offer the most amazing opportunities!  Some things covered last night:

• I would like to have people sign up as soon as you know your singer will be participating!
• If we have 5+ parents interested in participating as Chaperones and join us, but don’t want to travel via the bus, our tour company can come up with a chaperone package just for those people.  Please email me if this interests you!
• The trip insurance covers illness, etc. . .the company covers the trip is an “act of God” prohibits us from traveling.
• A parent Nashville 2020 Remind has been created to keep everyone up to date!  Text to this number: 81010 and text this message: @gk77f4
• There will be another meeting as we get closer to March with students and parents.  
• Fundraisers will be offered for students to help defray the cost.  The fundraiser with Peterson’s Nuts & Snacks began TODAY and will close 11/7!  We will a few more before February!

Last night 3 things were passed out (links below):

• The itinerary 
• The trip insurance information
• The information for payment and registration

Please let me know if you have ANY questions!  Email is the best way to reach me!

Attendance for Friday’s game at Rocky River is at 5:30pm. We will be performing two combined numbers with the Rocky River High School band. 

As we mentioned back in September, we have a gig this Sunday, October 20th as a result of our Marching Band raffle at the Blitz last year. Sunday’s run-out will have attendance at 1pmat BHS. Dress will be band polo and khaki pants. You do not have to wear dinkles, but please wear appropriate shoes. We will take buses to an undisclosed location in Bay (because it is a surprise performance). We will perform quickly and then be finished around 2:30pm.
