For everyone who attended and sold
tickets to the McDonald's Hotcake Dinner on

evening of great community spirit! The Marching

early morning practice do pay off! The band made
a profit of $1,000.00 that evening. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to
McDonald's and their super crew! They made
it look so easy and kept the hotcakes coming!
MAKE
YOUR HOLIDAYS A LITTLE EASIER..BUY COOKIE DOUGH
FROM THE BAND
Have you
ever gotten a last minute invitation to a holiday
and party and nothing to take. The SMS Band has
the perfect solution. Buy some Cookie Dough or
Muffin mix from any band student between November
5 and November 19 and make your holiday baking
hassle free. All you have to do is warm up the
oven, spray a little non-stick spray on the
cookie sheet, spoon out the cookie dough and wait
a few minutes until they are done. In minutes,
you can be out the door with a fresh batch of
cookies. All the proceeds from this sale will go
to enhance the band program at SMS. Remember,
orders are paid for in advance and delivery will
be approximately December 14. Checks can be made

VETERAN'S
DAY PARADE
Mark your calendars for November 11, 1998. This will be your first
opportunity to see the SMS Marching Band and
Color Guard marching the streets of downtown
Memphis. The parade step off is at 10:00 am down 3rd Street in front of
Court Square. Remember permission slips are due back to Mr. Bell November 9. Food
orders will be taken November 10 and must be paid

their normal lunch period at school. See ya' at

RECYCLE
FOR THE BAND AND THE EARTH
Want to get rid of your aluminum cans and
help the band? Drop them in the orange trailer in
the teacher's parking lot behind the school the
first Tuesday morning of every month. Jennifer
Nolte is volunteering to take them to be recycled
and the money earned will go to the band. A full
black trash bag yields about $1.50. So help the
earth and help the band!! Pick
up Dates: November 3, December 1, and January 5.
Our first trip in October yielded $40.00 to the
band. We are hoping to do lots better..remember
to bring in your cans, your neighbors cans, cans
from work, just bring them in by 9:00 AM the day
of pick up. THANK YOU!!
UNIFORM

We are still awaiting the arrival of the
pants. And though they were promised for the end
of October, they still have not arrived but we
are hopeful that this week will bring us the long
awaited arrival. If you can sew let Mr. Bell or
Vicki Czyrnik know. We are going to need as many
hands as possible to get them hemmed and ready to
go.
