Ram Band Update (9/14/10): Thursday Bexley Itinerary

To all:

Thanks to some great support from the Transportation Department; all has been solidified for our travel arrangements to Bexley HS on Thursday.  Please read everything below very carefully.

As previously stated, we will be rehearsing with the Bexley band Thursday after school prior to the "band spread."  In order for us to be on time to that rehearsal, we will leave directly from school at the end of the day.  All students will need to bring their travel items (spats, gloves, black shoes, black socks, concession money) to school Thursday morning.  I will be in the band room before school begins so everything can be safely stored during the day.  

BUSSES:

We will temporarily reassign busses for this trip to accommodate equipment transport and unloading @ Bexley HS.  Here are the re-assignments:

(1) Drumline, Sousaphones, Baritones, Trombones, Tenor Saxes, Drum Major, Any other Bus Loaders

(2) Trumpets, Alto Saxes, Mellophones

(3) Piccolos, Flutes, Clarinets

(4) Aries Guard & Ramettes

UNIFORM: WINTER + POLO

We will be wearing our WINTER uniforms on Thursday.  As a sign of Aries Guard, Ramette, and Ram Band spirit, I'd like everyone to wear their Aries Guard/Ramette/Ram Band polos to school Thursday.  Don't forget to have your gloves, spats, black socks, and black shoes at school ready to go.  You won't have any opportunity to go home to retrieve them!
