Happy Presidents' Day

Funny story: I was driving to school this morning when, while stopped at a light, someone coming through the intersection honked at me. It was Hannah and her father! I waved and said to mother, who was on the phone, "I wonder why Hannah isn't in school." She replied, "Lindsey, it's Presidents' Day dear. What are you going to do with your day off?" Let's just say that I was slightly perturbed that the rest of the world was out of school but UAB didn't recognize the national holiday. O well.

Parents, I hope that the kids brought the Travel Info - Part II home. You'll also find it attached to today's email. Some highlights below:

• The deadline to make reservations for the Lawrence County Show is March 1. Rooms are reserved under "The Color Guard of Chelsea High." Best Western Villa - 1.800.838.4552
• The deadline for tickets for the Nashville trip (March 24) is March 13. Just make a check out to the guard for $18 per ticket and we'll order them all together.

Here is a great story about one of the drumlines in our circuit. Football you say? No, better.

Saturday's location...

We're going to be at the Intermediate School Gym from 8am - 12noon. I will be at the High School at 7am to get your equipment from the closet. If your equipment is somewhere other than the closet, meet me there and pick it up.

Destin, Emi, Twin, and Brit...we won't need the floor so there's no need in meeting me early.

I apologize for the haphazard schedule we've stumbled upon. It was out of my hands but we must press on. You must be ready to begin rehearsal at 8am: no later. Eat a light breakfast and don't forget your snack.

Parents...the members will receive an updated travel packet applicable for the rest of the season. Please look over this and let me know of any questions you might have.

One of my favorite shows of all time...enjoy.

~Lindsey Harrison

Happy Valentine's Day...

I do, indeed, love you all. See you on Saturday at 7:50am.
