Re:              Schedule

Congratulations on another great finish last Saturday at Colerain.  We received third in class AA, increased points, and had the best pit crew for the second year in a row!  

This weeks schedule is almost exactly like the schedule you were given in August (how about that?) we will now fill in the times for Thursdays parade and move the Friday evening time up.  

Remember to give your best at every rehearsal and every performance and you will always be proud of yourselves.

Monday    6:00-8:30        Practice at THS.     Prepare for the weather!

Tuesday    3:00-4:00        Practice at THS.     Prepare for the weather!

Thursday        Halloween parade     WEAR A COSTUME!
6:00             Report in front of the movie theater, play for kids.
6:30            Parade starts
7:30 (or earlier)    Dismiss.

Friday        5:00-7:00        Practice at THS.     Prepare for the weather!
Like all practices this is mandatory and you are expected to give your best effort at rehearsal. This is an earlier time than originally scheduled to accommodate other activities.  The report time is the same as most football games but the dismiss time is obviously a lot earlier.
