Tonight is the mandatory Tennessee Meeting, which will be held in the auditorium at 7 p.m. If you have a student who is attending the Tennessee trip, we need at least one parent or guardian present at the meeting. Please remember to bring $66 for 5 meals that are covered on the trip and your OTC medication form, which can be found on the band website. Also, the uniform room will be preselling gloves for the trip. Students are required to have 2 sets of new gloves for the performances at a cost of $7 each. Gloves will not be available to purchase in Tennessee, so they will need to be purchased ahead of time. We are also accepting donations of individually packaged snacks and drinks for the long bus rides. There is no obligation to donate, but donations are much appreciated! If you plan to attend the Tennessee performances as a spectator, Kendra will have tickets available for $25 each at the meeting.
