Merci to everyone who came out and supported us in Hershey.  

Merci to our awesome Band Parents who organized our tailgate lunch in Hershey.
 
Merci to Al Dirkes, Ed Houghton, Tony Carino, Jimmy Cornelius and the many band dads who helped get our equipment trucks & trailers to and from Gateway HS & Hershey.
  
Merci to the students who came along with us to hold props.
 
Merci to all of our band staff for their never ending dedication to our band. 
 
This week we will take a much deserved break.  No rehearsals. 
 
We have a home football  performance on Friday.  This performance will be special as we are announced to  our hometown crowd as the new 2013 Atlantic Coast Champions! 
 
Looking ahead, there are still 5 possible football  games and the West Cape May Christmas parade before this
season is complete.   While our largest focus is usually on our TOB competitions, we must now keep up our energy and attendance until the end. Students who do not meet these final performance obligations will not receive any band awards/honors.  This is not  the time for students to disappear.  The full band has obligations and just because they are “only football games” students are not to schedule other events or create conflicts.  Every performance is important and every member is obligated to be in attendance.
 
Here is this week's schedule: 

Monday, November  4  – School Closed - Nothing Scheduled
 
Tuesday, November  5 – School  Closed - Nothing Scheduled
