Thank you to the Admiral Guard and Mrs. Gilmore for taking time to volunteer and help out the Humane Society of South Mississippi this past Saturday. Your kindness and generosity are inspiring to us all!

First game of the season this Friday night will be a double header featuring Harrison Central vs East Central and Stone vs. Gulfport. We are the late game beginning approximately 8:00 PM.

Concessions: This week the Guard and Drum Major families are assigned concessions. Please refer to the emails this week for times.

Fees: All money is past due for band fees. In order to receive the uniform for Friday night all fees must be taken care of. Winds and Percussion if you have ordered shoes, please note that $30 has not yet been charged to your account. This too must be paid by Friday.

Fundraising: We have plenty of coupon cards available for purchase at $2/card. This is a great way to raise the money for fees.

Rehearsals: Make sure that you have proper shoes and clothes for all rehearsals. Also everyone was issued a 1/2 gallon water jug, this is for your protection against dehydration and heat related issues. We are in the rainy season in South MS, thank you to all for being flexible to the unpredictable weather patterns.
