Parent Bus to go to TOB?

Since it is a long drive home late at night

for Tournament of Bands in Las Cruces,

in the past parents have chartered their own bus.

The bus would leave from EHS at a time that would get you to Las Cruces in time to see the band perform in preliminary competition (TBA) and the bus would stay thru the Finals competition that is performed in the evening.

Please let Cheri Stromberg know ASAP

if you are interested in participating.

Making this happen at a reasonable cost is dependent on the number of people who are willing to participate.
