Good afternoon. In one week we begin our contest season at Avery County High School. We are excited and believe that we have a really nice product on the field. With that being said...we want your help as band fans! We want all of our fans that are coming to Avery County (and other contests) to support the band by wearing red to show your spirit. This will help us out as judges do look at things like how the band appeals to the crowd and how much support the audience gives to the band.
If you would be interested in doing this, I have attached an order form for shirts. We are getting red t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, sweat shirts, and hoodies. Please fill out the order form and send it to school on Monday or email me your order and send the money in. Shirts will be delivered on Thursday this week and we will hand them out in the bandroom (along with Butter Braids from 5:00-8:30pm.
I would also like to invite you to see our show during the run-through at Thursday evenings rehearsal. It will begin at 7:45pm under the lights in the stadium. We would love to have a big crowd there to simulate a performance environment so please come out and see the band when you come over to get your shirts or Butter Braids.
We have THE BEST fans around and we look forward to seeing everyone this week. We are truely excited about the show and hope you will be able to join us at Avery County. Thank you all and let's have a great week!
