"This is your moment! Seize the opportunity to be great!" -Eric Thomas
Area Marching Contest is this week. This is what the kids have been working towards since the first day of summer band. We know they are ready to go out and perform amazingly and we hope to see everyone at Freedom Field this Saturday to cheer them on.
This week, information on the Poinsettia and (new this year) tamale fundraising has been included.

Marching Uniform and Color Guard Costume Care
Bibbers - machine wash with similar colors in cold water with regular detergent (no bleach), tumble dry on low heat, remove promptly after drying and hang back up.
Long Sleeve Tops - hand wash in cold water with regular detergent (no bleach), blot excess moisture, then lay flat to dry. If you are unable to hand wash the tops, then you may machine wash the tops with similar colors in cold water with regular detergent (no bleach) on the GENTLE/DELICATE cycle and then HANG TO DRY.
Shakos - after each performance, the shako box should be left open a few hours to air out.
Color Guard Costumes - hand wash in cool water with regular detergent (no bleach), blot excess moisture, then lay flat to dry.
The uniforms should be washed after each performance, or set of performances (i.e., Friday night game followed by Saturday contest). For the weeks we have a back-to-back game and contest, the bibbers, tops and guard costumes should be hung up in a well-ventilated area after the game on Friday night to dry out before the contest on Saturday.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
