Night at the Races - Now that the lottery calendar returns are in and there has been a week of winners, it is time to shift gears and head into our next fundraiser. All band and color guard members should have received a packet concerning the Night at the Races to give to their parents. The packets were distributed before Christmas by Mr. K. If anyone has not received one, please contact Tom McFarland at 328-5575 or 288-1305 to get one.
The packets themselves have all of the information in them and are pretty self-explanatory. We do ask that all ad returns be made as soon as possible so we can print them up as they come in rather than a big rush at the end. Ads can be sold to anyone and parents can even put their own message in the booklet.
Horse returns are due no later than February 13th. This will allow time to break the horses down into races and get the booklet printed.
Remember, Night at the Races is one of our larger fundraisers and requires a great deal of planning and help. Please get involved. It benefits all of our children.
The date of the event is February 20th at 7:00 p.m. It wil be held at the Independence Fire Hall in Kingston. We hope to see you there.
Please get in touch with Tom McFarland if you are willing and able to work at the event or help with setup or cleanup.

Some additional highlights of the trip will be visits to the Museum of Natural History, Top of the Rock, the Circle Line Cruise and attending the Broadway Play, "Bye Bye Birdie". A deposit of $100.00 was required by December 1st to reserve your spot and $50.00 of that is non-refundable. Your next payment is due February 21, 2010. The balance is due March 20, 2010. NO ADDITIONAL RESERVATIONS WILL BE TAKEN. Checks should be made out to the Wyoming Valley West Band Parents and given to Mrs. Novitski in Room 301.
