Mason High School Marching Band Invitational – October 17 |
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
The next competition for the Lafayette Band will be the Mason High School Marching Band invitational in Mason, Ohio (near Cincinnati) on October 17. This will be a one-show competition at an excellent facility and offers an outstanding opportunity to watch a different array of high quality band programs than we usually encounter. The competition will be held at Atrium Stadium on the campus of Mason Middle School, adjacent to Mason High School. Two competitions will be held with separate award ceremonies. The Class A / AA block will occur in early afternoon with awards in late afternoon. The AAA / AAAA / Open block (which includes Lafayette) will begin shortly thereafter and finish with an exhibition performance of the William Mason Marching Band.
All tickets are for general admission seating and will be sold at the spectator entrance located on the north end of the stadium. The ticket office and gates will open at 9:30 am. Driving information: I-75 traveling north – take Exit 22 (Tylersville Rd) and turn right at the light. Stay on Tylersville Road for approximately 3.5 miles to Mason-Montgomery Road. Mason Middle School will be on your far left at the corner of Tylersville and Mason-Montgomery Roads.

Uniform Crew News |
|
|
A football game means a performance, and that means students need to be prepared. It is the responsibility of the Uniform Crew to make sure uniforms are in tip-top shape for performances. Parents/students also have responsibilities for being performance-ready – do you know what they are? Short/contained hair, all-white socks, band camp shirt, white shorts, clean gloves, clean shoes, deodorant, no fingernail polish and no visible jewelry! Seniors might want their hair to look extra spiffy for pictures. More questions about uniforms? Click Here Uniform 101 – Everything you ever wanted to know about uniforms and more! Even MORE questions? Contact Amy King, 859-227-4253, amy@bleedsblue.com |

BINGO – Volunteers Needed Now |
|
|
Bingo is a year round fundraiser and we need your help! This is a busy time for everyone but the financial success of Bingo depends on parent volunteers. Several pull tab sellers are needed every Tuesday and Thursday – the bingo patrons want to give us their money by purchasing pull tabs! We ask that each family volunteer 12 times per year at Bingo. Please find a Tuesday or Thursday this fall and come to the Bingo Hall in Keithshire Shopping Center at 6:00 pm. You will meet some great parents and support the band’s fundraising efforts. |
