We are playing Woodland, as you know they are our rivals and this game gets ugly often. I want to remind you that when you wear the uniform you represent the band, school, and me. I expect you all to be above any craziness that may occur. You will be the bigger person, if you hear someone saying something ugly about the school or even our band, you simply turn the other check and ignore it. I feel as though we will not have any issues as you have shown time and again what class acts you are and I am very proud of the young adults that you are becoming, but I wanted to address this before the game.
Pre-orders
There will be a sheet outside my office for you to preorder for the game this Friday. You will write you name on the left most column and check anything that you want in the row. Please put exact change in an envelope and write your name, the amount and the word pre-order on it seal it and drop it in the box. I will take preorders until Friday at 4:30 pm to allow me time to compile all of the money and orders.
Uniform
We will travel in bibbers and jackets this Friday.
Food
Food this week is provided by Antioch church and will be sack hot dogs, chips, desserts, and a drink. You will get the sack on the way to loading the busses and eat on the buss. Since we are traveling in jackets, please take special care not to spoil your uniform with the food!
Friday 9/29
Next Friday 9/29 we will have a practice from 3:00 pm- 5:00 pm. We do not have school this day nor a game, but we DO have practice. I told you all about this practice a month ago and have reminded a minimum of once a week since. EVERYONE is required to be there, no excuses! There is the county yard sale so please plan this into your travel time.

The visitation for Tyler will be next Sunday October 1 at 1:00pm- 2:00 pm CST and the celebration of life will be at 2:00 pm CST hosted at Miller Funeral Home Dogwood Chapel 41 W Mill St. Tallapoosa, GA 30176. The family has asked that you RSVP if you plan to attend. I will be delivering the eulogy and we will be performing Over the Rainbow per the family's request.
I am not requiring you to attend as I know this will be very hard for some of you, I do however ask you to all be there. Tyler means a lot to all of us, and we meant a lot to him. The family really would appreciate your attendance and playing as would I! I said it before, but band is a family and right now your family needs you.
Please RSVP on the following website.
