FOOTBALL SEASON SNACK BUFFET THANKS


Over the past few months the Burlington High School Music Boosters Association members have been taking care of the members of the Marching Band, Dance Squad and Color Guard by providing plenty of water, hot chocolate and cider and a buffet of snacks during and after performances at football games, parades and even just prior to the Thanksgiving Day game.

At the risk of missing a couple of families (and we do apologize if that happens) we would like to acknowledge the following families who donated food and drink for the students during the football season: the Abruzzese family, the Bojarczuk family, the Brouillette family, the Cahoon family, the Chilliest family, the Conti family, the Cote family, the DiRusso family, the Dutton family, the Fleischmann family, the Fong family, the Frost family, the Gilstrap family, the Hanafin family, the Heissler family, the Horwitz family, the Kashgegian family, the Kelley family, the Kikuchi family, the Knox family, the Landry family, the Leva family, the Maiorana family, the Martin family, the McCartney family, the Mills family, the Nadir family, the O’Donnell family, the Parker family, the Ridley family, the Rosenberg family, the Roth family, the Sheldon family, the Shioda family, the Tsatsaronis family, the Villalta family, the Waisnor family and the Weisse family.

Sincere thanks to one and all and to Shirley Fong who coordinated this huge task.

Are You Ready For Some Football?

The first football game of the season will take place tomorrow evening when Burlington travels to Billerica in the traditional season opener. Gametime is 7:00 pm and is not held at Billerica High School but rather at Marshall Middle School, 15 Floyd Street, Billerica.

After hours of practice, including two weeks of band camp, it's showtime! If you have a first year Marching Band student (and even if you don't) there are a couple of things to keep in mind.
  1. Marching Band members are expected to be at the school at 5:15 pm.
  2. Buses will depart BHS at 6:00 pm.
  3. Black socks and shoes for instrumentalists.
  4. White T-shirts given to the students at Band Camp are recommended for under instrumental uniforms. When the weather gets cold some kids will want to use gloves without the fingertips...keep a lookout for them in the stores now so your student won't be caught without! Instrumentalists are assigned coats to wear over their uniforms in cold/wet weather.
  5. Snacks and drinks will be provided by the Music Boosters for members at all home and away games. However, there is always a snack bar at the football fields (in case they ask for money off that tree in the backyard). Shirley Fong is the Music Boosters Hospitality Coordinator. If you are interested in contributing a snack for the games, please contact her: shirltalk@aol.com.
  6. Marching Band parents are always at the games. It's great fun to watch how fantastic the students are and how they progress through the season, especially in their marching routines! Tickets to games generally cost between $6-$8. Season tickets are available...please phone the Athletics Department at BHS for information.
  7. Arrival time back at the high school varies. It's probably best to ask your student to give you a call when they are on their way back to the school. Keep in mind that they must also change back into their street clothes and hang their uniforms before they depart from the school!
  8. Arrive a little early tomorrow night. The entrance to the field in Billerica tends to get very crowded at gametime as does the parking lot.
Hope to see everyone there!
