Happy New Year!

As you may know, all band students received packets last week for Trivia Night.  Details about Trivia Night are as follows:

When:  Friday, February 3

                Doors Open at 6:00 pm

                Trivia Starts at 6:30 pm

Where: NCHS, 3900 E. Raab Road, Normal

Who:     Anyone 6^th grade and up.

-          Ticket price includes admission, water/lemonade and popcorn.  Nobody will be admitted without a ticket.  People are welcome to bring their own food or drinks if they wish – PLEASE NOTE:  STATE LAW PROHIBITS ALCOHOL OR TOBACCO USE ON SCHOOL PREMISES!!

-          A cash prize will be awarded to the grand prize winners.  There will also be several raffle prizes, a 50/50 drawing, and other door prizes throughout the evening.

-          All ticket sales are final – no refunds will be given.

-          Since Trivia Night will be held on the Friday of Super Bowl weekend, everyone is encouraged to wear a jersey or some other shirt of their favorite football team!

-          Each student received 8 tickets to sell.  Tickets cost $10 each and must be paid for when they are purchased.

-          Registration form and money are due back to Mr. Meadows or Mr. Masterman by Friday, January 27.

-          We will be making a seating chart for the night based on the registration forms received, which is why it’s VERY important to have the registration and money turned in by January 27.  Each table will have 8 players.  Enclosed are 8 tickets and a registration form, with 8 spots.  We will need the first and last name of the purchaser, and how many tickets they need.

We will be requesting both student and adult volunteers for the night of the event – a signup will be posted to Jooners early next week.

The event WILL be rescheduled if there is bad weather on February 3.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Terri Hoss at rumom1@frontier.com.
