Friday, November 13, 2009
Bus 1 had a fuel filter problem from the get go and it really impacted us after we left Louisiana. By the time we got about halfway to breakfast we were going slower and slower until we finally pulled over to a rest stop where the bus company had deployed a mechanic. We loaded that bus on to the remaining buses and went to breakfast. By the time we got there the other bus was repaired and we continued the trip but by that time we were about 2 and half hours behind so we skipped lunch stop and pushed through to Indy. Once we got there we at the chicken sandwiches on the bus and went straight to the practice at the convention center. They practiced until about 10:30 and then packed up. Back at the hotel, the kids took the pizzas to the room and tried to get what sleep that they could before they had to get up for breakfast at 5:30. Then they dressed in their uniforms and left to do the rotation thing at the prelim performance. Hope you got to see the performance on the web. Once it was over we went back to the hotel and then the kids changed and it was on to the Hard Rock for lunch. The band had a great time there and then went back to the convention center for practice. Then off time at the connecting Circle Center Mall. Looking forward to some rest and the party tonight. Wish us luck.
New WebHost - Do You Need to SubScribe or UnSubscribe?
Saturday, October 24, 2009
Due to all the problems we were having with the mailing list, we decided to re-host our website to a new web provider. We are still working out some of the bugs and I hope you will be patient with us.One of the pluses is we are able to get all of our mail out in a matter of minutes, however we were not successful in capturing our old mail list the way we intented. What we did was automatically subscribe all the kids and parents listed in the band directory. If you are not receiving mail at an address you would like to receive email, please click on the this http://clearbrookband.org/mailman/listinfo/clearbrookband_clearbrookband.org link and input your email in the section listed as SUBSCRIBE and hit the subscribe button. You should first receive an email to verify that you do indeed want to receive email from Clear Brook Band Booster Club, then the Moderator of the Mailing list will have to accept you. Provided you are a member of our band community, we will do so. If you no longer wish to receive email from the Clear Brook Band Booster Club, you may use that same link and input your email in the UNSUBSCRIBE block, or you may use the link in the email you have received to unsubscribe. If all else fails, please feel free to email Mary Lou Griffith at mlgriffith@comcast.net
Thank you for you patience.

LUNCH/BAKE SALE MONDAY -
Don't forget about our next bake sale on Monday October 12th. If you signed up to work on the day of the sale, feel free to contact me if you are available to work. I will need about 8 people to run this event. If you have not spoken with me prior to the day, then you are not expected to work even though you are on my list. As for the bakers, I need all of you. Please send at least 2 dozen cookies, cupcakes or brownies. Remember, the only store bought cookie that sells well is the Lighthouse brand of sugar cookies with bright frosting and sprinkles. They are cheapest at Wal-Mart, about $2.75 for 10. Please use a zip lock bag for cookies and brownies and package 2 cookies or brownies to a bag. If you are sending a container you need back, please put your name on it. Deliveries of the cookies can be put in the band hall if your student is bringing them. Teddy, the receptionish in the office, will gladly put items dropped off by parents in the office where I will get them when I arrive. Lastly, you may drop them off to me on Sunday evening if that is easier. My address is 13714 Shadow Falls Ct in the North Fork Subdivision. Please let your child know if you need your container back. I will return them to the band hall where they can take it back to you. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me. My email address has changed to MJRAMASSIE@ATT.NET.
