Congratulations to the Marching Jays for another great performance at Rosemount. Check out Curt Yess' photos at: https://plus.google.com/photos/106742007266417072408/albums/6058797912789890481 They are great pictures including of a lot of behind the scenes stuff that happens without us usually seeing it. Very Cool!

Attached is a very nice letter from Bill Sucha, the Director of the Irondale Marching Knights. He explains a very positive philosophy to keep in mind as we view our upcoming performances.

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far to make this year successful. The Trailer Crew, the Uniform Crew, the Food Coordinators and everyone who has been involved in meals for the kids, the volunteers that created the great School Calendar, everyone who volunteered and / or ate at the Waffle Breakfast -- too many people to name. The more you follow the band, the more you realize how many people are working tirelessly to make the season work. Again, thanks to everyone who works to support the Marching Jays!
