Florence Itinerary

Dear Parents:
The Clay-Chalkville football team and band will be traveling to Florence, Alabama this Friday, November 6th, 2009 for our play-off game. As you can see from the itinerary below, the Cougar Band is leaving earlier than usual. We have the opportunity to observe the University of North Alabama “Pride of Dixie” Band in rehearsal and a private performance of their show just for our band students. This is a marvelous opportunity for our students to see a great college band and to see what college band is all about.
We will not have an opportunity to eat lunch. Students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch or a snack for the trip to Florence. We will not eat supper until 4:00 p.m. and that is a long time to go without food of some type. The band boosters are going to have something for the students to eat and drink after the game. Our students just need some type of snack to sustain them until 4:00 p.m.
Your cooperation and continued support of the Cougar Band is greatly appreciated.
