ACA Bands to compete in District Competition
The Intermediate Band and High School Concert Band will attend District Competition on Thursday, February 15th at Opelika High School.

Performance times are as follows:
2:45 p.m. for the Intermediate Band
3:30 p.m. for the High School Concert Band

We will be chartering 3 buses to travel to Opelika. We will leave the school at 10:30 a.m., eat lunch at Eastdale Mall and then head to Opelika. Students need to bring money for lunch! Students must be in uniform before exiting the bus in Opelika. Intermediate Band Members are to wear the ACA Maroon Polo and khaki pants or skirt. High School Concert Band Members are to wear their marching uniform. We will return to the school no later than 5:30 p.m.

We are in need of 6 chaperones (parents of Intermediate Band Members) to ride the bus with the Intermediate Band Members and assist with chaperoning the kids for the day. If you are interested, please email traceykirksey@knology.net. This will be on a "first come" basis and you must be available all day.

The valentine cards are ready, the lollipops are here and orders are piling in! If you emailed me and volunteered to help with this fundraiser, Peggy Oliver will be contacting you with the volunteer schedule. I'm happy to announce that we had so many to volunteer, that you may not be scheduled to take orders during a morning shift, BUT we could use ALL of you to help assemble the CandyGrams the afternoon of February 13th beginning at 3:30 p.m. until we finish!
