A new year is
beginning and I would like to
thank everyone for your
participation last year. We
had another great year as
we had a total of 32 jobs
and 26 rehearsals. We had
a yearly average of 38
members attending jobs and
28 members attending

Our

go around. There were
several members that

Charlie Simpson – 25

Congratulations go out
to them.

your opinion.
If anyone is interested
in ordering shoes for
marching, we will be placing
an order in January, so please

order.
There are several

about getting a cruise
together for 2009. We will be
talking about it in more detail
this month at rehearsal, so if
you are interested in this,
please attend rehearsals.
