1:40                We will be bringing the GIANT flag out on to the field for the singing of the National Anthem. After that we will pack up the trailer, head back into the ballpark, and enjoy some of the game….. (we can’t stay the entire game- buses on a Sunday are VERY expensive)

 If you are planning on staying the entire game, or if you plan on leaving early, a NOTE from home to your bus chaperon. You will need to make arrangements with your parents as to where to meet them.

Parents: Discounted tickets for the game ARE available!

Go to https://uspbl.com/ticket-info/ once you navigate to the ticket order page, you can enter the promo code CHAMP2016. I don’t know what the discount is, and WE are sitting on the lawn area.

URGENT: Please pass this on to any band parent you know that doesn’t normally get the Band  Emails, Facebook , or reads the webpage. 

From Mr Schoenherr – It won’t be a field show performance, just background music as spectators come in to the ballpark 

Good Afternoon

I received a call from the USPBL (baseball league out of Jimmy Johns field in Utica) wanting us to perform this coming Sunday prior to the championship game. The only details i have right now is we play for about an hour prior to the game, then bring the flag on to the field. They would give the band (and chaperons) lawn tickets for the game, I believe discounted tickets for parent spectators.

What I need to know from the kids (i only saw 1/3 of them after I got the call) is whether they are available or not this Sunday 9/11, call time about 10:45, return about 4:00. I’d like to know this by tomorrow PM for our rehearsal. I will send texts out to the field command, etc. so I can get an idea of participation possibility before I commit to this…..

Once we commit, I will have much more detailed information.

THANKS

Matt

Monday, Sept. 5, 2016

 Please make sure that you have a good breakfast before coming to school. Water/soda will be provided, and you can bring a snack if you would like.

11:15        Arrive at Ford in summer uniforms

WHITE SHORTS/FALCON SOCKS/WHITE SHOES MANDATORY

11:30         Leave for Romeo

12:00         Arrive in Romeo and report to assigned area

Await further instruction. You know the routine; hurry up and wait.

1:30           Parade Begins

1:30- 3:00         Step off – we have not been assigned an event number, so I will not know where we are in the parade line-up until the day of the parade!

4:15           Arrive back at Ford (approximately)

If parents are at the parade and plan on picking up students at Ford, please leave right after we pass you.  Don’t wait until the parade ends to start home.  There will be an adult present at school for one half-hour after the busses have dropped us off! Also, please try to park in an area that will give you easier access to leave Romeo- south of the parade route is recommended.

If you are taking your child home directly from the parade, please send in a note to be given to the bus chaperone, and pick them up at the location on the map on the reverse side.

The Parade starts at Main Street & Gates, and proceeds south. The dispersal/pick-up area is at Croswell Elementary on  Dunham Road; you will see a sign posted Parade Participant Parking

A friendly reminder that script and Vince & Joe orders will be due on September 12th. You can also turn them in to Anita at the September 12th booster meeting. All orders and checks must be submitted by this day. My address is 14962 Rotunda Sterling Heights.

Thanks
