Dondero Marching Band Parents:

On Saturday, October 2, 2000, the Dondero High School Marching Band will participate
in the Trenton Invitational held at Trenton High School. The contest will begin at 3:30
and includes 20 bands in four different flights. The contest will end around 9:30, but we
will head home after the Flight III & II award ceremony. Adult tickets will be sold
through Mr. Foreman during the week and on Saturday before we leave. Tickets are $5.00,
and the proceeds help repay the $150.00 entry fee that the band has to pay for the contest.
Checks should be made payable to Dondero Band and Orchestra Boosters.

The following is the tentative time schedule for Saturday:

Thank you all for your support in Clarkston this past weekend. The band and the staff are
all working hard this week to get the show finished for the Trenton contest. This will be
the first time ever that Dondero will compete at the Trenton show, so lets have a great
turn out, and show them what we are all about.
