Football Date Change

It’s been noted that one of our LHS football games was changed to Saturday, October 23rd 7:00pm, it was our last Titan Band performance on a Friday.

This brings up a new scenario for the band for Saturday 10/23:

a. If we march in the semi-finals during the day and make it to finals that night then we will stay at the Air Force Academy and compete in all of the CBA events of the day.

b. If we march in the semi-finals but not the Finals that day we would be expected to march at the football game later that night at 7:00pm.

The new date change is reflected in our football banner, calendar and we will keep everyone updated to any other changes as they may happen.

Panda Express

Our First Restaurant Fundraiser for the Year!

For those of you new to the band, the restaurant fundraiser nights are an easy way to help the band make some money. All you need to do is simply eat out at a certain restaurant on a designated night and time. The band receives anywhere from 10 to 20% of all the band sales for the evening. We try to schedule these on a Tuesday or Thursday night during the 2nd and 4th week of the month. We also try to accommodate everyone’s eating preferences by having them at a variety of restaurants in the Parker area.

So, our first restaurant is Panda Express! Please bring in the attached flyer on Tuesday, August 24th anytime between 4:00 and 9:00pm at the Panda Express located at 11153 S. Parker Road (by Home Depot). You must have the flyer in order for the band to receive credit for your purchase. You may dine in or carry out. Print copies for or email all your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. The more people who come in, the more money the band makes! Hope to see you there!

Mark your calendars for a night out at Chilis on September 14th!
