Uniform Prep
We’re adding a little twist to our show, Altered Perspectives, this year. Not only do we have the most awesome props ever, but we will be modifying our uniforms by covering the gold front with silver and making skirts that will be hidden at the start of the show and then revealed during the show. It’s going to be so cool!
Which means… We have a little work to do.
This Thursday, September 13th, 5:30-7:30pm, we will meet at the home of Christy Stephen to start the process of covering the golds. We need help with tracing, cutting, pinning, and some machine sewing.
If you are available and willing, please let Christy know. Hope to see you there!
Football Game
If you are interested in helping fill water jugs, covering the bleachers, pluming, gauntleting, or pushing equipment prior, during, and after the game, please contact Pierre Echternach. Helpers will meet in the band hallway at 5:45pm.
