Thursday night practice starts this week and every other Thursday unless other wise changed.
So you know our first show will be the weekend of April 17TH & 18TH this gives us only 4 camps plus any Thursday night practice before these shows. So you can see just how important your being at practices and camps is along with your practice at home. If you are planing on marching the show you must be at camp no spots will be left open if you are not there.
Everyone should have a 2010 schedule so there will be excuse for you that you didn't know what is going on along with checking the web page. Remember it is your responsibility to check the web for any changes to the schedule. I will e-mail out any changes also.
Dues, I know money. We all must pay them if you have some trouble with your payment contact Jim Grothman. Dues can be paid at practice to either Jim Grothman or myself and at camp to Gemette Grothman. Dues are $150.00 a year if you don't already know.
