-----------
Best of America by Horseback:
This parade will follow the same route as FFL parade. They are taping a TV show (Best of America by Horseback) in Bainbridge and it is my understanding that this is for that. We will be playing the Armed Forces Salute and I believe there will be many other honorings. The owner of the Paxton is also offering free tickets to Band Members +1 who would like to attend the stage show for the next day on Sunday in the Paxton.
-----------
Ross County Honor Band:
This is for high schoolers only. If you are auditioning, you need to have the audition music, permission slip, and emergency medical form filled out for Monday. $20 is also due. Checks made out to Ross County Band Directors Association.
-----------
Marching Band Banquet:
Pot luck dinner:
- Seniors/Juniors - Dessert
- Sophomores - Hot Side
- Freshman - Drinks and Cups
- Junior High - Hot or Cold Side
----------
Practice @Paxton:
This is our only practice in the venue where we are performing the Last Blast. We will load up the trailer and drive everything down after school and begin as close to 3:30 as we can. Be ready for this practice to go slightly later than normal.
----------
Last Blast:
Tickets are on donation ($5 suggested). If you have never been, it is a fantastic show. We will play through every piece we did this season on the Paxton Stage. Doors open at 6:45, show starts at 7:30.
---------
Veterans Day Parade:
Our last parade! It will be at the VA. Call time is 10am @PV. For those of you helping with Christmas in the Valley, we will have time to get there early to help the vendors unload and set up and we should be back in time to help the vendors also pack up at the end.

Here's to the final 2 weeks!
