Additional Comments: This will be a hurry-up-and-wait kind of night depending on how quickly the sound guy can get a good sound out of us and the video guy can understand when to get the camera on the correct area to capture the featured sections and soloists. Please help your child understand they may be sitting more than they would like but we need them to take deep breaths, and not get whiny about the situation. The fewer distractions the directors and tech crew all have, the faster this process will go.

Event Details
This year, our end of the year party will be hosted by the Peckham family at their house. They have a pool and games! We will need to coordinate on bringing snacks and drinks, more on that soon!
The Peckhams request that we NOT RUN OR DIVE in or around the pool. The pool is shallow and with as accident prone as we have been this year, we need to be careful to make sure everyone is safe. We plan on having a lifeguard on site for any potential injuries.
Time: 6pm-10pm
Directions:
12813 E Paul Ave
Clovis CA 93619
Take Herndon to Academy
Turn right on Academy
Turn right on the first street, which is Paul.
It’s the third property on the left. There are a lot of orange trees and several tall palm trees at the driveway.
There are two houses, the party is at the second house at the end of the driveway. Those who are staying can park in the dirt parking lot near the first house or just off the street. Those who are dropping off can park near the basketball hoop next to the circle driveway.

Specific Directions: Follow your GPS to the school. Parents can park on the streets bordering the school.
This is the school where Rookie Nolan goes.
We will be playing indoors
Please make sure your ‘beater is in good standing with their teachers and principals so they won’t mind them missing an afternoon to perform a community service : >)
Whereas, we need as many Beaters as possible to stay and help pack up, if the only reason you can’t get there early or stay after the gig is because your Beater has another event, that’s OK as long as you let me know in advance. Please stay as long as you possibly can and maybe come a little early so you can help set-up more than those who are able to help afterwards.
