Parents - In order to support this activity, we need a few parent volunteers to walk with the band in the parade and deliver water, as needed.  If you can help with this, please contact Mark Haynes ASAP at saysh@aol.com.
We could also use a few to help with the distribution of band shorts and shirts beforehand.  If you can help with this, please contact Valerie Tamburrino ASAP at uniforms@trav808.com.
