Arrive at court by 6:00p. The basketball game starts at 6:30p. Bring lyres for music. We will play at the beginning and halftime. In marching uniform, white shirts, navy blue pants, hats, and ascots.

After the game, pizza will be provided for the band and veterans!

Notes from Tom O’Connor on how to get to the gym and where to setup below,

1) seats are bench so band members if have ‘Stadium Seats’ please bring and set on top of bench style

2) Baseline ends have pull out stands we probably will sit there during playing of hoops

3) Parking in 2nd lot closer to American Legion side, has 5-6 handicap spots.

4) enter gym at the 3 large window 3 story building from the right (American Legion side),  hard to see unlit label of Gymnasium over doorway

5) they served pizza at $3 slice and snacks at their concession stand during game

6) I’m pretty sure we can bring in our cases

Note: do not park out front near summer concert, on that circle…will have very long walk to doors…gym and all is behind going toward American Legion lot.

Hi all,

If you’re able to come early to practice around 6:15p we will be doing a sort of Show and Tell for the Pappas Students. They will have a small group of kids coming over to be with us to see instruments, hear what they sound like. Maybe hit the drum a bit. If we have enough people maybe we can play a few things and explain how the music goes together.  If enough Clarinets can get there maybe The Ensemble can play something.
