YOU GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!!!

As you know, our family was at my nephew's wedding in the Poconos this past weekend, so we were not able to be at the Lancaster Catholic competition. What a treat when I checked my e-mail this morning and found out that video of your performance was posted by Mr. Lines on You Tube! I watched it at around 9:30 and already it had been viewed 130 times! I got goosebumps and even a little teary eyed sitting in front of my computer! You did a great job, and I can't wait to see where you take it from here!! Keep working hard Pioneers -- amazing things are in our future, I can feel it in the air!!

INFORMAL MEETING

There will be an informal meeting for any parents new to the band competition scene this Thursday at 8 p.m. in either the band or chorus room. We'll try to fill you in on everything you need to know about competitions.

BARNSTORMER TICKETS

The Barnstormers have given us 200 FREE tickets to this Sunday's game (Sept. 14) because we did such a great job when we worked the concession stand! If you would like to go, please sign up for the number of tickets you would like at the beginning of practice tomorrow night. Tickets will first be distributed to those who worked the concession stand. Any left over will be up for grabs. Please don't take tickets if you are not sure you can make the game.

TAG DAY SUCCESS!!

A really big THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS goes out to everyone who worked together today to make the '08-'09 version of Tag Day a huge success. Our one day total was what I believe is a record for the first day. Thanks to every one of you for your hard work and willing spirit on a less-than-perfect-weather day!!

RAIN ... RAIN ... GO AWAY!!

It will be very important to check both here and the website for updates of the weekend events. As you all know, the weather is looking pretty awful for Saturday. Mr. Royer, Mrs. Norcross & I have discussed alternative plans, but there is no easy solution. At the very least, you should be looking for your umbrella and raincoat and have it ready to go with you all weekend. This past Friday night was fun in the rain, but this weekend looks like it will be a bit more severe so you should be prepared.

STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES .... :-)
