Dewey's On Site Training
If you are signed up (or still plan to sign-up) to work at the Dewey’s store you MUST attend an on-site training session. Please go to https://signup.com/go/OYsvQma to sign up - there are 6 training dates to select from. The only exception is for multiple family members signed up to work the same shift, where one person may attend as a representative for the family. You will receive a store handbook by email prior to your training session. Where possible - please choose a date that has people signed up already - so we can cancel sessions that aren't needed. If you have any questions, please contact deweys@athensdriveband.com Please remember that other fundraisers need your help NOW. State Fair Parking and PNC still have a number of open shifts that need to be filled & will both fulfill your Fundraiser Service Commitment. Please go to our website http://www.athensdriveband.com/home & select the orange volunteer button to sign up. Thanks for all you do! Jennifer Wakeford Dewey's Bakery Holiday Fundraiser Store |

Pit Crew for Game Friday and Competition Saturday
Band Parents, This week we have a game on Friday and a competition on Saturday. Attendance and help last week was awesome – you guys are starting to make this look easy. Hopefully we’ll have a little less mud this week - if you can help out, please join us we’ll have some fun and see a great show. We’ll be in full uniform and all props for the game, so we’ll plan on loading the props on Friday Night (after half time). It also seems like the new normal is going to be unloading the semi on Sunday (this allows our driver to save some of his hours so he can work his regular job). With that said, I’ve created Signup entries for all three (3) events (game, competition and unload on Sunday). If we end up unloading on Saturday, even better, we get Sunday off. Please pick the times/chores you’d like to help with, remember if you’re not comfortable with something heavy, please don’t let that stop you as we’ll find something for you even if it’s just encouragement for the rest of us. Guys and Girls all are encouraged and welcome. We’ll plan on wearing our show shirts. If you don’t have one, the standard ADHS Band Shirt will be fine – don’t have one of those? Something blue then. Regards, Rich Swirski Pit Crew |

BBQ Update
Hi Band Families – As you may have heard by now, we have postponed our annual Fall BBQ so as not to conflict with the Jag Club’s Homecoming event on October 11th which will also feature BBQ. We’ve rescheduled for Friday, November 1st, which is now also a teacher workday. There’s no football game that night, so, hopefully, this date will work out well for many of you and we’re looking forward to it! The event will be held at the same location as last year: Swift Creek Community Center, off Yates Mill Pond Rd. We’ll need many volunteers and any help is greatly appreciated. Our sign-up link will be coming out this week, so keep an eye out for that. We’re still in need of BBQ cookers/grills, so if you have one or can borrow one, please let us know ASAP! Also, if you’re able to help coordinate our presales to local businesses, ADHS teachers (since it’s a workday), and other area schools, please also reach out and let us know. Other volunteer opportunities will also be available, and we need you to be successful! Thanks as always for your dedication and hard work! The BBQ Committee bbq@athensdriveband.com |
