Hello GEB,
Below you will find all of the details for our upcoming week (10/26/20-10/31/20). Remember to always check richardsonband.org for the most updated schedule.
IMPORTANT GAME DATE CHANGE:
As mentioned in my previous email, our football schedule has been adjusted! Our only away game (RHS vs LHHS) previously scheduled for Friday, November 27th (after Thanksgiving) is now on Wednesday, November 25th (before Thanksgiving). The time is to be determined but options at the moment are 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM or 1:00 PM.
If this date change will cause an issue, it will be excused but please fill out this Google Form by Monday, 10/26 so that the band staff can plan accordingly. https://forms.gle/2Zk4mBSmhHPeHJyN6
