First Report - Nick Gasemy (Director)
Thank you for the 2023 season – it takes a village and thank you for doing a great season. Two great concerts, a parade, a great breakfast with Santa, and an impromptu concert at Hillcrest. Warms his heart with everything happening. Indoor information meeting at 7:30pm.  Disney informational meeting went well.  Please get caught up on Disney information if you are a part of that program. Final rehearsal with Oakdale in on Jan 8th at Oakdale. Some equipment will be staged at Oakdale that night and loaded. Marching shoes/socks will be loaded onto the truck. Might go into garment bags or plastic bags attached to the tops of the hangers. Met with Oakdale and Disney – Disney will print a banner that they carry and we get to keep. They are going to print two – one for Oakdale and one for TJ. Confirmed trailer safety and where the truck can pull in and out. Pit Orchestra info has gone out on schoology – check with your student that they have that information and time commitment/tech week/performances. One question for Jo – Will there be an opportunity for kids to drop off luggage the night before they leave? Maybe that could be at the end of the school day on Tuesday, but not at night because of all-county. Otherwise kids need to bring their luggage to drop in the band room Wednesday morning. Nick will post a reminder after the winter break about luggage drop. Jo and Sherry are curious about a carpool from the airport back to Frederick.
