Come on out to the STADIUM and watch our Marching Greyhounds rehearse on the football field this FRIDAY after school during their regular rehearsal time!  It is highly likely that you will even find seats on the 50 yard line!

Please be sure to check www.carmelbands.org for this week's MARCHING BAND UPDATE.  The UPDATE is posted to the web-site every Tuesday.  Note that competition day schedules are not available until TUESDAY of the week of the competition.  (EXAMPLE: The schedule for Saturday, September 11 will be posted with the UPDATE on Tuesday, September 7.)

NO Marching Band Rehearsal this Saturday.  Happy Labor Day weekend.

Can you host at least two students from Walled Lake Michigan during the week of BOA Grand Nats?  Don't miss this opportunity to meet great kids and extend some Hoosier Hospitality to our friends from Walled Lake.  We are looking for "homes" at least 75 more students...please consider how you can help.  For more information, see the TRS web-link, or this week's UPDATE, or contact Susan at president@carmelbands.org

We can use some help making UMBRELLA PROPS for the show.  We need to accomplish this task as soon as possible.  If you can help, please contact Dennis at marchingband@carmelbands.org

Many thanks to all who helped support our fund raising efforts at the MOTO GP this past weekend!  A special thank you to Kim Ware for her dedication to this project!

TUPPERWARE FUNDRAISER HAS COME!

The Tupperware fundraiser has started.  ORDERS MAY BE DROPPED OFF AT A BLUE VAN NEAR THE SCRIP CAR TODAY, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.  Orders may also be handed in at the next football pitch-in, Sept 10.  All orders are due on Sept 10^th.  If your Tupperware catalog is unused, our Tupperware representative would love to have it back, as they are costly.  So please feel free to hand in your catalog even if you do not have an order to hand in.

One-page Tupperware Fundraiser flyers and Tupperware catalogs are still available if you or your student did not pick one up.  They can be picked up on Thursday, Sept 2, near the Scrip car, or see the contact names and numbers below to call or email and set up a time to get a packet.

40% of the revenue from the Fundraiser flyer sales will benefit the band.  10% of the revenue from the regular Tupperware catalog sales will benefit the band.  The revenue from each students'  sales will be split, 75% to the  student's account and 25% to the band fund. Merchandise will arrive within 2 weeks of the order.  If you need an item sooner, please contact Barb Mounsey, as she keeps hundreds of item in stock at her house.

Yes! They are still available. What you ask? Why, the 2011 Entertainment books. And, yes, there are still some 2010 books. Two for the price of one! Twelve dollars to your account for each sold! They actually earn you money when you use the attached gift cards! So what are you waiting for? See Bill Eagleson between 5 & 6 at the Stadium (or wherever the kids are) on Thursday. Get 'em while you can.
