I almost forgot another important event this week. Thanks to Mrs. Russell for the quick reminder! Many folks have asked if we’re heading down to Logan this year. Our football schedule determines many of the extra events we attend each year. The two back-to-back home games in October put a cramp on our travel options. So, I decided to continue our perfect attendance record at the Jackson Apple Festival… 30+ years running to my knowledge. The Homecoming Dance is scheduled for the same date as Logan; so we’re taking a year off from seeing our friends to the south so the band can attend the dance. Don’t worry!!! We’ll be heading back next year for sure.
I didn’t want our students to miss out on an opportunity to perform in a festival similar to Logan. Another band who regularly performs at Logan, Oak Hill Middle/High School (The Marching Oaks), hosts a festival each year. They have extended us a special invitation to perform not only our band camp show, but a combined performance just before the awards ceremony with the host band. The show begins at 7PM with seven bands scheduled to perform.
Oak Hill is a approx. 20 minutes south of Jackson on St. Route 93, a 2 hour bus ride. We need to arrive by 6PM so there’s time to unload, warm up, move to the stands, and get something to eat before the first band hits the field at 7PM. Be sure to bring some money for concessions. Band Call this Saturday will be 3:00PM for a 3:45PM departure. The show should end by 9:30 and we’ll be back no later than 12 midnight.
Here’s a link for directions: Whitehall to Oak Hill Middle/High School I’ll have printed copies of the directions at school later this week as well.
Date: Saturday Sept. 19
Uniform: WINTER
Band Call: 3PM
