Winds Parents and Students,
Here is the most updated information about the Seafood Festival I have so far.
There will be no Winds practice on Thursday because of the Homecoming Street Dance at the Middle School.
We will have a trailer to transport all of the percussion equiptment and larger instruments over to JF Gregory park. We will begin loading the equiptment on the trailer at the band room at 10:30 Saturday morning. I am asking that all percussion students arrive at 10:30 to assist. Students playing the larger brass instruments or other instruments stored at the school will please arrive at the band room by 11 to make sure your personal instrument is loaded on the trailer. We will also be loading chairs.
All other Winds students are to meet at the stage at JF Gregory Park at 11:30. All students are to wear their Winds t-shirt from this year with jeans. Please bring a portable music stand and your music in the binder. I will bring clothes pins in case of wind. Last year the stage was located at the far end of the pavillion. All students will help set up and tear down the stage and equiptment. Many hands make light work. The Winds are scheduled to play from 12:30 to 1. We will need help back at the bandroom to unload the trailer as well about 1:30.
Unfortunately, all students will need to get themselves to and from the park. Please be aware this is a busy event in Richmond Hill and you may need to allow for extra time to park and get to the venue. There is a charge at the gate. Parents must pay to enter, performers do not. Please keep that in mind when leaving the park. They will charge you to re-enter. If you are able to stay, this may be the day to do it since you have already paid.
If you have a truck and could assist with loading the trailer and can carry any extra equiptment in your vehicle, please email me.
I am looking forward to hearing the Winds play.
Kiersten
