We are in the home stretch in preparing for our event tomorrow!  Please see final reminders and items still needing attention below!  

I am also glad to say that the website appears to be working properly again! ::fingers crossed::

REMINDERS

• All families should bring one "batch" of individually wrapped baked goods with them to the cook-off tomorrow.  Please set them up on the bake sale table in the back left of the cafeteria.
• Students should wear band attire if they have it.  Students who did not purchase a band shirt should wear school colors (gray, navy blue, or white)!  All students must wear closed-toe and heeled shoes for safety during the event.
• Anyone entering the cook-off should be set-up no later than 3:30 in order to be judged.  Judging will begin promptly at 3:30 so that all chili can be sampled before we let our guests eat.
• All students should be at the school no later than 3:45 and check in with Mrs. Gauldin to let her know they are there.  Students may check out with Mrs. Gauldin at 6pm unless they have signed up to clean after the event.

HELP WANTED!
I am in need of a parent supervisor (help students work) for the following areas.  If you are willing to help, please let me know.

• Chili Service (Supervise 4pm - 6pm - help serve if needed so that chefs may take a break)
• Dining Room Hospitality (make sure that things are running smoothly downstairs)

DONATIONS STILL NEEDED - if you can provide these, please comment below so that I do not purchase them

• Gallons of sweet tea - TOP PRIORITY
  
• Cans of soda - we will not sell soda unless this is donated (these are 3 for $9 at Lowes Foods this week)
  

Band 1 students have a playing test this Friday, February 12 during class on exercise #88: Technique Trax.  This piece is difficult and encompasses multiple techniques that we have recently learned.  Students should be practicing every night in order to prepare for their test.
