Premiere- with more tickets available.

"re-sign-up" during Dessert Night, if you had not
previously done so during Rookie Night. A log sheet will

One Call
Now form on the website. We apologize to the 2007,
2008 and 2009 families for making you go through the
sign up again, but we're now able to have 2 phone
numbers per family. The excessive file maintenance to
remove system entries for graduates, add the 2nd phone
numbers or correcting missing information, etc. has made
this database purge-and-fill necessary. Thank you for
your patience! Joe and Sandy F.

A friendly reminder about
Jazz Camp Parent Night (7/28) at Miami University, Oxford:
1. All kids need to be picked up after the Parent Show
Friday evening. There will be NO bus transportation for
students to return to the school. If you cannot get to
Miami to pick up your student, you will need to make
alternative arrangements with another family. Plan to
arrive at Miami around 5:30 pm to give yourself time to
find a place to park, to get your student's luggage
(Morris Hall) before the show and to setup your chairs
around the practice field for the show start at
approximately 6:30 pm.
2. If you did not get a Visitor's parking pass from the
Miller's at Dessert night, she has many copies at her
house in a plastic container on the front porch. The
back side of the pass has a street view of Miami
campus that identifies where Morris Hall and the
Practice Field are located. The Miller's house is at 30
Tranquil Trail. (Directions - Rt. 48, go south of Alex
Bell, past Bob Evans and turn right onto Tranquil Trail
OR Rt. 48 going north, past Incarnation Church and
turn left onto Tranquil Trail). The Miller's house is on
the south side, the 2nd house from the Rt. 48 corner.
3. Be careful where you park at Miami. Many of the
streets have "no parking" signs in along various parts
of the street(s) and cars will be ticketed if parked
where there's a sign posted or by yellow painted curbs.
4. You can find directions
here.
5. Finally, be careful driving, especially on a Friday
night! Many of the roads to/from the campus are
two-lanes and twisty/turning.
Dessert Night
Dessert Night is Sunday,
July 23rd, starting at 6:00 pm.
This delicious evening will kick-off two weeks of
marching band camp! Bring your appetizers and desserts

communications and more! The general meeting will start
at 7:00pm to provide many informational updates.
