Here are some reminders of upcoming dates so that you have plenty of time to plan.
- Performance with the Shasta High Band:
- Friday, October 26th at Thompson Field at Shasta High School. This is the only game we play this year with Shasta, and it is the River Bowl. We will meet at the band room at Shasta at 5:30pm for a tailgate barbeque before the game. We will play along with the band for the first two quarters, then we will enjoy the field show the Shasta High Band performs at half time. You may leave after half time, or you are welcome to stay through the rest of the game.
- Veterans Day Parade:
- Saturday, November 10th in Shasta Lake City. The parade route takes us straight down Shasta Dam Boulevard. We meet in the Sentry Market parking lot and walk a few blocks over to our section to line up for the parade.
- Redding Lighted Christmas Parade:
- Saturday, December 1st in downtown Redding. The theme this year is Redding's Night of Twinkling Lights. We usually light up each student with lights that the band provides, and then you may purchase lights for each student to light up their instrument. If you have any ideas about what we can do to really make a splash, please let Mrs. Wiseman know.
- Holiday Bazaar:
- Saturday, December 8th at Sequoia. This will be a public fundraiser for the band. Space will be available for vendors to rent and sell their goods (more to come on that very soon!). We will be selling concessions as well as raffle tickets for baskets. The band will be responsible for assembling the baskets with each section of the band taking on a different category, so look for a Sign-Up Genius to come out for you to sign up! We would like local businesses to get involved and donate gift cards or items for baskets, so feel free to ask as the more items we have available, the more money can towards the band.
- Winter Concert:
- Thursday, December 13th at McLaughlin Auditorium. We will wear our normal concert attire of white shirts (no t-shirts), black pants/skirts and black socks and shoes (marching shoes are okay to wear).
If you have not yet ordered your shoes, please go to www.bandshoppe.com. Type in Product #6000, which is the Directors Showcase Showstopper Marching Band Shoes. We wear the plain black shoes as shown here. They tend to be true to size. Once you buy a pair, our lending closet is always available for you to trade up as the shoe size changes, although we do not have many in the larger sizes, 12 and up.
We are still doing eScrip to support the band. This is an easy way to have money go directly to the band. Go to www.escrip.com and sign up, the band ID# is 158730018. On the site you can find a list of companies that give a portion of your
purchases to the band, just for buying at their stores and restaurants,
or when you use or credit or debit cards. There is also on Online Mall with over 700 merchants that will donate a portion of your online purchases as well. Thanks so much for supporting
the band in this way.
That is all for now, hope you have been enjoying your weekend!
