The Marching Patriots wowed an attentive audience at the Cavalcade competition at West Chester HS East last evening, placing second in their division with a score of 79.8.  The band arrived home too late for processing of the show video, which will be posted at a later date.
TRAILER CREW and CHAPERONES
NEEDED FOR THIS WEEKEND
 
If you haven't had a chance to help out at an event for the band this year, please consider signing up to volunteer this weekend.  Volunteers get into games and competitions for FREE, and it's a great way to meet other band parents and support the kids. 
Remember that all families are REQUIRED to sign up for at least 2 volunteer slots during the season.  
Visit the Season Signup Genius to volunteer.  

  If you have questions about volunteering, please contact:
Cyndee Van Siclen, Chaperone Coordinator
Christa Afflerbach or Heather Blady, Concessions Co-Chairs
  Mike DeRosier, Equipment Crew Chair 

NEW PROCEDURE THIS YEAR:
All volunteers please sign in at your stations (Chaperones, Concessions, Trailer Crew) so that you can get credit for your time.
 
All volunteers are required to obtain state-mandated clearances.  For information on how to obtain clearances, click here.
