Quote of the Week
Our schools tend to refine intellects but neglect to discipline emotions. For anyone to grow up complete, music is imperative.

Please help the band boosters earn funds for the AW bands by joining us at Village Pizza Factory (6792 Providence Street, Whitehouse) on Tuesday, April 9th. The event is all day from 11am to 9pm. See Village Pizza Factory on Facebook in case you are not familiar with them.
Please print the attached flyer (PDF) and mention it or take it to pick up your order anytime that day and the band programs will earn 15% of your total sale!
Who doesn’t love VPF pizza and loves having a night not to cook dinner for the family?
Thanks for supporting a great cause: Our kids!
Remember, it’s the Tuesday after Spring Break. Thank you!
Parents of band students going on BIG TRIP 2014:
The AW Marching band students will have their next Big Trip (once every 4 years) in most likely late Fall of 2014 (about 18 months from now).
Because of this expensive event, the Band Boosters are looking at having a large fundraising event to help fund a portion of the students’ trip cost. But we cannot do this alone and are looking for some volunteers to help with this fundraising event.
Again, this is to help reduce YOUR cost for the trip in 2014.
If you would like to help out your child’s booster and band organization by assisting with this event or for more information, please contact me.
