or instruct, we do many other things that are important to the band’s success. The
purpose of TABB is to provide what is needed so our band programs are among the

The Redhawk Spectacular on November 11 is an opportunity for the eighth graders
that will be attending Athens next year to perform at Athens and then witness our
Redhawk Marching Band’s fantastic performance! For many eighth graders and
their parents, this is their first experience with our band. We would like to give
them a big welcome by hosting an Afterglow Reception for them.
To make this nights a success, your help is needed. We would like to ask for
donations of pop and baked goods. To attempt to make it easy for everyone:
If your name begins with A through M, please donate two dozen baked goods.
If your name begins with N through Z, please donate two 2 liter bottles of pop.
Please bring these items to the Athens’ Band Room during the day or
directly to the cafeteria the night of the concert.
Thanks to everyone for your support and donations. Everyone always enjoys the
refreshments and social time after concerts, but on these two nights it is especially
important that we demonstrate our school and band spirit.
If you can help with setup, cleanup, serving or if you have any questions, please
contact Lucie Bower at 248-528-1728 or email at luciebower@comcast.net
Pit Crew
- We are in need of at least 14 parents to get the band on the field at the
competitions as well as the home games. We need people to move the
podiums, props, and pit instruments from the trailers to the stadium, on to
the field for the show and then back to the trailers to be packed for the trip
home. Along with the gratitude and appreciation of the band, you will get
admission to the shows (State Finals are 1/2 price) and the chance to hang
with some really super parents.
- Please e-mail me or see me in the parking lot at practice.
- Thank You
Tim Maskill (tmaskill@aol.com or call 248-879-2941 )
- Anyone interested in being a chaperone should reply to me
kamannette@wideopenwest.com with the show/shows they would like to
chaperone.
- Chaperoning involves riding the bus to and from the competitions. All but 2
of the chaperones (myself and Lucie Bower) who will stay with the band are
required to help out with the trailers, loading and unloading equipment,
assisting with PIT train on and off the field and props. We are performing in
the competitions listed below.

In order to qualify for the possibility of chaperoning the State Finals and/or
the Thanksgiving Day parade you must work 2 competitions. Unfortunately
we are limited to the number of people allowed on Ford Field and the
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
We are requesting each family to donate one case of 12 oz bottled water to
be used at the competitions.
This year we are suggesting each student to bring a snack and drink, for the
bus trip home.
Thank You
