MARCH-A-THON PLEDGES DUE NOVEMBER 12^TH

Bring your donation envelopes in!  Place in Mrs. Feltman’s mailbox located in Mr. Burn’s office

Parents, please contact Mr. Burn immediately at john_burn@fuhsd.org  if your student is missing any performance or practice.  These are all mandatory events that affect your student’s grade.

SCHEDULE FOR VETERAN’S DAY FOOTBALL GAME!

This will be Pep Band Only, meaning all marching band members are required to be there, EXCEPT front ensemble and color guard.   

All football games and competitions are mandatory and count towards your grade.  Please contact Mr. Burn atjohn_burn@fuhsd.org as soon as possible if you will not be in attendance (unless you are a member of front ensemble or color guard).

5:30 pm           Percussion, tubas load trailers.  If you are not there, you will need to                                   transport your own equipment to and from the game.  Percussion,                                         remember to bring your drum stands!

6:30 pm           Arrive at Cupertino High School. 

                        You are responsible for your own transportation to and from the game.                               DON’T FORGET YOUR INSTRUMENTS!!! 

The required uniform for the game will be green pep band shirts and BLUE jeans.   Contact Mrs. Edmonds atedmondsbarb@yahoo.com  or Mrs. Ishizaki at aud@yahoo.com if you need a green pep band shirt.  There is no telling what the weather will be like, so it might be advisable to bring your band jacket or field show sweatshirt with you.

BAND ROOM OPEN UNTIL 6 PM THURSDAY FOR YOU TO PICK UP YOUR INSTRUMENT

The band room will be open from 4:30 until 6 pm on Thursday for you to pick up instruments.   The band room will be unavailable after 6, so don’t be late or you’ll have to explain to Mr. Burn and Mr. Weingartner why you don’t have your instrument.

The band room will be open again AFTER the game if you wish to drop off your instrument before going home.   Don’t dawdle.  As soon as the horse trailer is unloaded, the band room will be locked with no access until Friday morning when school starts.

Prices $15 General

            $10 Students/Seniors

            Kids 5 and under Free

WE NEED TO KNOW…..

1)      Please contact Vicki Feltman at Vicki.feltman@gmail.com if your student will NOT be on the bus going to Logan on Saturday, or if your student will NOT be coming back on the bus after competition.  We don’t want to waste time waiting for someone who won’t show up at bus departure. 

2)      If you are picking up your student, we want to make eye contact with both parent and student before you leave, so that we make sure everyone has hooked up; we would hate to have a student THINK their parent was picking them up, only to have them end up stranded in Union City after everyone else left.  See either Vicki Feltman or head bus chaperone Deborah Smith before leaving.   If you do not show up by the time the buses are ready to leave, your student will be going home on the bus.  We will not hold up the buses waiting for your arrival.
