ISSMA Scholastic & Fall Festival Thank you to the parents
who signed up at the "We Believe" potluck. We are getting closer to
filling every position but we still have too many openings. This is
a great way to meet other parents and get involved! If you are not
familiar with Sign-Up Genius and would rather call or email, please
do! Deanna Wyrick's cell phone number is 437-9669 or email
[email protected]. We have openings for concessions,
ticket takers, and warm-up timers. We have 30 bands coming to
Homestead, which is 3 more than last year! That means we need more
help because Homestead’s Fall Festival is known to be a great
contest and bands want to come to Homestead. So we need all of our
parents to help host both of these FABULOUS events! Please call or
email TODAY!!

Penn Tickets Next week’s competition on September 27th is at
Penn High School. Penn provides each participating band with 100
admission tickets to sell for $6.00 each. This is the same price as
tickets sold at the gate. However, we get to keep $3.00 from each
ticket sold for our band account. So, if you are planning to go to
the Penn Competition next Saturday, please buy your tickets from us
-- while they last. Purchase your tickets from Kim Brown and Kim
Horner beginning on Tuesday evening.
It’s time to prepare and serve our incredible Chicken and
Dumplings at the Johnny Appleseed Festival.

Fall Festival Hospitality Room
During Homestead’s Fall Festival on Saturday, October 4th, we
have a hospitality room where visiting band directors and staff
enjoy a meal and snacks. All food is provided through donations
only. Check out Sign Up Genius for the list of food items that need
to be donated. If you are a baker, we need desserts! If you are not
a cook that is okay because many of the items are available at
Gordon’s Food Service. Purchase scrip for GFS and then head to
Gordon’s to purchase the food and help the band twice! The
Homestead Fall Festival of Bands is known for its high quality
hospitality room. Help us to make it a success again this year!
