Good morning!! I hope everyone had an excellent 4th of July. You all sounded great yesterday in Kingsport. For tomorrow, call time is 3:15 p.m. in the big parking lot next to Eastman Credit Union. Remember that you will be meeting there. There will be no buses to this event as it is a local performance. Once we are finished performing, you are free to go. However, I highly encourage you to stick around as we will be selling water and advertising for the big mattress sale next week.
I will be at the bandroom at 2:15 tomorrow. Anyone needing to pick up equipment, please plan to arrive then. I will be leaving VHS at 3 p.m. so don't be late. We will be marching in with Strike Up The Band and performing the National Anthem at the main stage.
This is from the organizers of the Mt. Carmel Block Party:
The band can park over near where the car show will be held. We thought it would be great if they could march up to the stage area. This is the parking lot that is next to Eastman Credit Union.
