Hello! A couple of new reminders:

*Please note the date of the Marching 100 kick off meeting – Tuesday, March 8 in the AHS Auditorium!*

A note about Dinner Auction:
M100 parents.
I am looking for parents to coordinate section baskets for the upcoming ABOB dinner auction.
You will need to decide on a theme and then collect donations from the section you represent.
Please help our students and ABOB support them during marching season and all year long.
Please email me at dvroman@live.com or call/text 560-3823.
Thanks!
Diane Vroman
