As the spring weather swings back and forth with the decisiveness of a toddler, it can only mean one thing: marching season is close! Here are some reminders...
The updated season calendar is here! Please check out the calendar and add it to your own. It has the updated parades, times, and more. Thanks to all who reached out with the concern about an extremely late April rehearsal. While a 6pm rehearsal is intriguing, it is still a school night. We won't be the reason you stay up late. We got the settings and time zone changed, so hopefully we're good to go.
We have rehearsal on Sunday, April 12 from 1:00-5:00pm at FVL. This is a full rehearsal for all. Please RSVP here.
You will need your instrument (or flag), music (can be found in the Member Student section of the website, click on "more" at the top right), and footwear appropriate for marching. This means that there is a front and a full back on the shoe. Crocs don't count. Slides don't count. Clogs? Not the backless kind. Don't even think about flip flops.
Those travelling from the far corners of the kingdom should check with their director to verify departure times, snacks for the road, and such.
KML kids: The bus will depart at 11am from Door 13 at KMLHS. We'll leave FVL at 5pm with a quick stop at Kwik Trip on our way back to KML. Everyone who plans to ride or not ride the bus from KML/WLHS/LPS/Homeschool Area of WLHS and KML, needs to fill out the form yes/no and add phone number. THANK YOU!
While the students rehearse that afternoon, we are looking for volunteers to help freshen up the creases in the uniforms. Ironing skills are appreciated but not required. Some volunteers are needed to rehang and rack the uniforms after pressing. Consider helping with this project, especially if you are looking for something to do between dropping your student off and taking her/him back home. Meet other parents. Have fun. There will be snacks. Reach out to us if you have questions, and we'll point you to Chuck Adrian for the answers. You can also use the RSVP link to let us know if you're planning to come or not. Thanks!
If you have not yet ordered marching shoes or shirts, please do so by May 1. Now is a great time to try on the old marching shoes! If your bibs had to be lengthened in January, chances are good that you're going to need a bigger shoe, too. Also remember that they will need to last for the whole season. If the condition of the sole is questionable and it appears that they may need a hug of electrical tape, it's time to get some new ones. We have a limited number of gently used shoes in random sizes. If you are interested in checking them out, we'll have them available on April 12.
Many of you know that we are holding a CFS mattress fundraiser on April 11 from 10:00-4:30 at FVL. Please share this with your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, dog walkers, baristas, and everyone you know! More information will be in an email, but long story short - the more mattresses sold, the more money we get to help reduce our costs. Don't live in the Appleton area? No problem! CFS holds events all over the state. More info will be in the email.
Thanks for your continued support and encouragement. If you need assistance with anything, please let us know by sending an email: [email protected]. God be with you as we ponder his journey to the cross and celebrate his glorious victory over death for us! We'll see you soon!
