PHS BAND BOOSTER BLAST September 16, 2005
Visit http://PlainfieldBands.org for the most up-to-date information (updated daily).
For Boosters and Friends of the PHS Red Pride Marching Band
THE FESTIVAL IS HERE!
- Participants and volunteers should park in Swinford Park so there's plenty of room for spectator parking at the high school.
- If you haven’t already done so, please bring a 24-pack of bottled water or a cola product. Please also bring a cooler with a bag of ice.
- Please plan to stick around after the festival to help with cleanup. All the band members will help with cleanup at the end of the night, and will not be dismissed until their areas pass inspection. The more parents that help, the sooner everyone goes home!
