  • THIS SATURDAY Feb 26 is the South Albany Indoor Showcase. 
    • WG is performing
    • WDL is attending, to support WG and to watch drumlines 
  • Any WDL who CANNOT attend, let McKee know right away - we have to make sure to have enough food (yay for food!)
  •  The schedule for Saturday is on the sidebar (look at it right now)
  • Also, read Smart Winter Guard and Drumline Students, so you know what we do 

Last thing - remember to bring the signed Acceptable Use Policy form back to McKee when you come next.
