MSBOA Award Ceremony

After our performance, we will get the trailer packed up and meet near the blue dot on the photo…… if you want to join us for the “awards ceremony”, please be over there by 8:30.
Hope this makes sense…..
From Mr. Schoenherr -MSBOA info
Rain plan for tonight;
The heaviest of the weather is supposed to hit right around 8:00. The MSBOA Marching Band VP and the hosting directors have already made the decision to NOT have a traditional awards ceremony at the end of the evening. I will find a place to have our own “ceremony” after we get the trailer packed up. Once I figure that out, I will make another post here, and have the kids text you as well if you’d like to join us.
So once again, bring it on, Mother Nature! We can TAKE whatever you have to GIVE!!
We’re gonna tear the roof off the sucker!!
GO BAND!!!
