<div dir="ltr"><p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpFirst">Hi Everyone!<span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span> </span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">I hope you all had very nice holidays and are all refreshed
and ready to see your students resume the school year. This Friday we have the DHS Bands
Play-A-Thon. Years ago it was a fund
raising event. Now it is just a fun
event for the kids and we also have the 9<sup>th</sup> graders (freshman) from
the Jr. Highs join the combined bands.
The event helps promote the music community spirit as well as being a
fun time for all. <span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span> </span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">The last few years the kids pretty well faded
after midnight so Mr. Slabaugh thought that this year he would make the event
shorter. So, it will go from 7:00pm to
Midnight. It is being held at the
Emerson MPR. <span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span> </span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpLast">The Band Boosters will provide 20 extra large pizzas
for the group. We will also provide 3
ice chests with ice to chill drinks. <b>We are asking that families bring the
following:<span></span></b></p>

</span></span><b>A – G families
bring drinks. Please bring 12oz drinks
to go in ice chests. (no liter or multi liter
bottles)<span></span></b></p>

</span></span><b>H – L families

</span></span><b>Q – Z families
bring deserts.<span></span></b></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpFirst"><b>Also, there
will be a need for chaperones. Last year
we had a minimum of 4 per shift. There
were a lot more shifts because the event went all the way to morning. Please e-mail me with your name and the time
you would like to hang out. The shifts
will be: 7:00 to 9:30 and 9:30 to Midnight.</b><span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">Thank you for helping make this a great event for
the kids.<span></span></p>
