 Saturday, October 31, was our Marching Band's last two competitions. Our Marching Mavericks took 1st place in their class at Audrey Kell H.S. in the morning competition, and finished the day at South Rowan H.S. winning, not only 1st placed in their class but, GRAND CHAMPIONS for the day. Congratulations!
It has given me great pleasure to be a part of this group of young and very professional students. At each competition this year they have shown their love of music and their competitive spirit, and yet have been supportive of the other bands as well and gracious in accepting each award. It has been a pleasure to be able to say proudly. "We are the Marching Mavericks" My associated with this fine mix of young men and women is a memory I will not soon forget. I thank our staff and all our volunteers thought-out this season for making the 2009 season so successful.

I would like to thank all those involved for making our 3rd annual Outback Night a tremendous success. Our volunteers did a great job, especially our committee chairs, Brent and Barbara Wainscott. The event was a sell out, and Outback has already inquired about hosting next year's event. Way to go team!

Our 3rd annual fruit sale is now in full swing. Our committee chair is Gwen McClendon.
Please support this fundraiser as we have in the past. Tuesday we will have the opportunity to enjoy listening to our High School Concert Band. They have been working hard and sound great. Please make every effort to be there and support our very talented students. Remember, Tuesday, October 27th @ 7 PM

This past Saturday, our Marching Mavericks performed in two back to back competitions. The first competition was at Porter Ridge H.S. where they took 1st place in their class AGAIN, AND received the Jim Hill Award for the highest scoring Union County Band regardless of class. At the second competition, at Hickory Ridge, they took 2nd place in their class. The conclusion of this year's Marching Band season will be Saturday, October 31st with another double header. Our first stop Saturday will be at Ardrey Kell H.S. and the second will be at South Rowan H.S. Please congratulate our students for their excellent performance this year and wish them continued success this weekend.

The Marching Maverick's competition season has begun. Although last Saturday was a long and wet day, the students did fantastic by winning 1st Place in their class at Mt. Pleasant HS. This past Saturday, our Marching Mavericks did it again! Winning 1st in their class and moving into the finals makes us so proud of our students.

We are also very grateful for our volunteers. Although the Band Boosters know that we have the best parents around, it was nice to see them finally get the recognition they deserve. The Marching Mavericks Pit Crew took 1st place in Saturday's competition.

I would ask everyone to congratulate Bobby Williams, our Pit Crew Chief, and all of our Pit Crew for the hard work and efforts they put towards our program.

Please also recognize our Band for their accomplishments thus far and wish them further success in our next competition at Western Carolina University this weekend October 10-11

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for all the long hours and hard work everyone put forth to make our Marching Band Preview Show an outstanding evening. Our Band program could not be the fun, competitive and SUCCESSFUL program it is, without each of your efforts and enthusiasm.

Although the weather did not cooperate, we as an organization, through our planning and execution of the event, out-shined Mother Nature herself, and as the saying goes..."You don't fool with Mother Nature."

I am very pleased with all we have achieved in such a short time as a Booster Club.

Thank you again for all that you do!!!!!!

Sincerely,
Jim Cronley
Band Booster President
