Our Weekly Letter

Greetings! 

The conversation has been leading up to everyone’s first performance of the year.  I hope you have received all your costumes, shoes, boots and hats.  Pull out the camp video for review, practice with the band and away we go!! 

Best of luck in your first performance.

Directors, don’t forget to submit your summer camp hours to your school district for professional development hours or comp in-service time.  If you need documentation, contact the company that provided your camp. 

This season we will be sending our contest schedules by E-mail.  If you would like to receive a copy of a specific contest schedule, please e-mail us within 2 weeks of the event so that we can send you an updated copy of the schedule.

Below is the ABC’s of Praise that was sent to me by one of our friends.  I know that it will give you a lift as it did for me. 

Beneath the ABC’s is my Top Ten Picks for companies that serve dance/drill teams (American Dance/Drill Team!).  We are proud to support these fine companies and recommend them to you for their services or products.
