Good Morning A.I. Band Family!

Christiana Game on 10/06/18: The football game at Christiana is this Saturday, 10/06/18, at 3:00 pm.  It was changed from the previous time of 11:00 am due to several student athletes taking the SAT in the morning. Band members are to report to AIHS at 1:00 pm.  Students should call/text for a ride when we depart Christiana.  My best guess would be that we will be back at AIHS around 5:45 pm.

This is Christiana’s Homecoming Game and they have festivities, including a Hall of Fame induction, from 2:15-3:00 pm.  Because of this, we have been told that our band will not have the opportunity to perform our field show.  I met with our student executive board yesterday morning and they voted to still attend the football game.  We will play music in the stands throughout the game to support our football team.

Practice: Marching band practice is on Monday, 10/08/18, from 7:00-9:00 pm.  (Reminder to students that the band room will be locked at 2:40 pm and opened for practice at 6:00 pm.)

Homecoming Dance Help: The Homecoming Dance is one of the biggest fundraising events for the A.I. duPont Band each year!  We cannot do it without all hands on deck.  Help is needed with planning, decorating, concessions, breakdown, etc. The dance is on Saturday, 10/27/18, but help is needed now (and before, during and after the event).  PLEASE volunteer a few hours to help you kids! Contact Ms. Stephanie Simpson at aihsbandboosters@gmail.com or Ms. Chrissy Cesario at chrissy@myfcres.com if you are willing to help out.

Glasgow Game at AIHS on 10/12/18: Our game next week is home vs. Glasgow.  The start time of the game has been moved up to 6:00 pm.  Band members are to report to the band room in full uniform at 5:00 pm.  We will step off around 5:15 pm, so please be prompt.
