Ram Band Update (9/24/10): Homecoming & Jackson Itineraries

To all:

Homecoming 2010 is here!!!  Despite the weather on Wednesday, the Homecoming Parade was well attended.  Nice job to everyone for being on top of everything.  There's a lot going on today and tomorrow; read everything carefully.

  • FRIDAY - PEP RALLY: Later today is the Homecoming Pep Rally.  Ramettes and Aries Guard will perform.  We help create the culture of school spirit and support our Rams as they take on Licking Valley tonight!

  • FRIDAY - HOMECOMING GAME 2010 vs. Licking Valley:  The Rams will square off against Licking Valley for this year's Homecoming game.  There is SPECIAL EARLY REHEARSAL (5:30-6:15PM) to incorporate any alumni who haven't been able to attend the previous rehearsals.  This rehearsal is mandatory; CALL: 5:15PM

  • FRIDAY - AFTER THE GAME - "EAT WINGS RAISE FUNDS!!!": Our weekly fundraiser at BW's continues tonight after the game.  10% of food sales is given back to the band to help with our new Uniform Project.  Hope to see you there!!!

  • SATURDAY - STATEHOUSE PICTURES:   Tomorrow is our trip to the Statehouse for the formal band photos as well as our parade competition in the Jackson Apple Festival Parade.  CALL: 12:45PM  We will depart WYHS in full uniform (SENIORS NEED THEIR GLOVES!!!!); exit busses at the Statehouse; take our formal photos for the 2010 season; take a SHORT break; get back on the busses; and head down to Jackson.  

  • SATURDAY - JACKSON APPLE FESTIVAL:  Students will need street clothes for their free time in Jackson.  It will be much COOLER tomorrow; high of 74 in Jackson.  Dress accordingly.  While I'm not requiring students to wear their polos, I want everyone to wear something WHITEHALL.  Students will have approx. 1.5 hours of free time to enjoy the festival.  They will need money for dinner in Jackson.  We will return to the busses, dress, and line up for the parade.  The parade steps off at 7:45PM.  If we depart Jackson in a timely manner, we will stop in at the McDonalds in Chillicothe for a late night snack.  ONLY IF WE DEPART QUICKLY!!!!
