Veteran's Day group update and details
Attention Veterans Day group performers:
You guys did a GREAT job on Friday playing at all three lunch periods..... very proud!!!
Tomorrow is our big performance for the City of Bartlett Veteran's Day ceremony. I drove by our performance site and they have a tent set up for us in case it is raining in the morning. Hopefully we can all fit....may have to rearrange seating some. This is at Veterans Park right next to Freeman Park.....corner of Bartlett Blvd and Bartlett Rd across from El Idolo restaurant. Please be there by 9 am for set up and warm up and please park in the lot farthest from the tents to save closer lot for the veterans. We will start playing at 9:30 and the ceremony is at 10. Hopefully we will be done around 11/11:15.
We have two parent volunteers for equipment but could probably use one more truck/van and some people to help load (meet at school at 8:15) and unload (should be back at school by 11:20/11:30).
Please remember all instruments in working order and music. Wear red Veterans shirt with any bottom and dress in layers underneath so shirt can be seen.
