Make sure you are here on time at 8:30am sharp Saturday morning!! This is an opportunity for us to run our show and make last minute corrections.
Double (and triple) check to make sure that you have everything before loading the bus for Cedar Rapids. You MUST have black socks! Also, all hair needs to be pulled back and pinned up, and all jewelry must be removed or covered with a band aid. It is important that we all look our best…appearance counts!
After our performance, Jolesch Photography will be taking a group picture of the band. Ordering information will be available at that time for students who are interested in purchasing a picture.
If you are planning to ride home from the contest with your parents, let me know no later than THURSDAY (10/7). If I do not receive a note, plan on riding the bus back to Anamosa.
Ticket Prices:
Adults: $5.00
Student (K-12): $1.00
Remember that you are representing Anamosa at all times! Please be respectful to the contest organizers and other schools. Stay focused, keep the energy level up, and sell the show!
