CALENDAR

We will be taking 56 passenger charter buses for this trip as it is a school night and Mr. Markham offered to donate some travel funds to offset the extra cost to us.  We appreciate Capital Trailways for giving us a fantastic price for 3 charter buses.  Band, Football, Cheer, & Dance students are currently not excused from school Friday morning.

Next Friday’s football game (October 4) is a 3:00 start time against Jemison.  Just like any other in-county game we will not take buses so students will need to carpool.  If you haven’t already, please coordinate carpooling for your student and let me know if you need assistance in finding a ride.  Arriving by 1 should allow drivers to get in to the parking lot without having to pay – be respectful if they are taking tickets (unlikely) and tell them you are in the band or working for the band.  When entering from the Ivy Avenue (south end) you will want to park on the right side of the stadium.  Big Blue will park over there for easy unload and dress.

Friday’s game is an “in county away game” which means students are responsible for getting themselves (carpooling) to the stadium.  Call time is 5:00 (NLT 5:30) at the Alabama A&M stadium.  Big Blue should be on the visitors side (the side away from the Parkway) but the band will actually sit on the South end of the home side bleachers for the game.

Most likely at Athens, but confirmation and details to come closer to time.

The EAA Chapter 190 Monthly Fly-in Breakfast takes place on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Breakfast is served rain or shine. This is a wonderful fundraiser project. It’s a great opportunity to learn about aviation and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). To give a little history, the EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8-17, an opportunity to fly in a general aviation airplane. These flights are free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers. Flight Disclaimer: The Student’s parent/guardian must be present to sign a waiver to fly.

The BHS Band/CG provides buffet-style breakfast. There’s a wide range of folks who come out to enjoy our breakfast like Pilots and their family/friends who fly into Moontown from near and far, Boy Scout groups, and our local communities. The breakfast menu may include: Scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes, grits, gravy, biscuits, fruit, orange juice, and coffee.

Volunteers are responsible for: Service line set up, cooking, replenishing the breakfast buffet items/supplies, and Cleanup. Most importantly we want to make our guests feel welcomed and we must show our appreciation for their generous donations and support.

If you are interested, please sign up through CHARMS>Calendar>Go to ****>Click on the little hand once spots are open.

Please wear comfortable tennis shoes and clothing, preferably your BHS band shirts if you still have one. It is important that we represent BHS Band/CG just at Mr. Souder expects everyone to during all events we participate in.   Even if you don’t volunteer, we want to encourage everyone to come out and support BHS Band/CG and EAA Chapter 190. The cost is $7 for Adults and $5 for Children.
