In light of the recent tragedy, all events scheduled for this school week have been cancelled. Our thoughts and prayers, as a unit, are with all of the families involved in this horrific incident. A memorial for Ms. Hannah Yeager is scheduled for Thursday, November 30 at 4pm at Liberty Baptist.

This Saturday morning/afternoon, the members have their first opportunity for a fund-raiser. We will do a road-block and all proceeds will go directly to the "Member Cost." Please RSVP by either email or comment below.

First Winter Guard Post...

To any new readers we might have acquired...if you would like email notification of when the blog is updated, send an email to lhlingerfelt@yahoo.com. Welcome to the blog!

Thanks to all of those who made it last night. For those of you who didn't, make sure you get a handbook, sponsor forms, and brochures. Get with someone and make sure you understand everything. Questions, just ask me.

About the sponsor form and brochures...

• Every business gets a brochure. If they ask for more, give them more. We can always make more copies. Mr. Lawley has more of both as well.
• Be sure you email me a list of businesses you want to contact and WAIT for me to reply. All of this is on a first-come first serve basis. This isn't an option.
• Be as courteous and professional as possible. We want to use these sponsors again for more seasons.
• Give checks to Mrs. Newman to deposit. Keep your form and I will get them at a rehearsal.

Your calendars are 70% correct. I will get updated copies to you ASAP. Sorry. As of now, your first rehearsal is Nov 30 at 6pm. Keep checking the blog for more info.

Get all of those forms (I-IV) filled out. I will take them up at the first rehearsal. Remember, you can't compete until I have all four forms, signed, on file. :)

HERE is the most important video you will ever see.
