*** RA News
Trish Moosbrugger

Many thanks to all the Bus, Hotel, and Medical RAs who made our two LA trips safe and fun. The Road Warriors were awesome moving all the equipment up the stadium ramp, and the Grub Masters and their crew kept us going with the best meals and snacks and treats. We had an endless supply of squirt bottles and bottled water provided by the Water Families.

Thanks to parents who organized the Senior Ceremonies and provided a memorable dining experience and Pinning Ceremony.

I would also like to thank the AFM Board members, American Stage Tours, and the Embassy Suites.

And last but not least, our newest crew, the Parking Lot Pals, who directed traffic and carried everything to the Band Room at 2am on Sunday.

*Last event of the marching season.....Holiday Parade on Dec 1, more details next week!

You all made my job as Head Road Warrior much easier.

A special "shout out" is extended to those of you who are senior parents as many of you have given years of service to the band.

A special "shout out" is also extended to those of you who are freshmen parents. Your willingness to immediately help the band without knowing what you were getting yourself into bodes well for the band's continued success in the future.
