Additional Comments
- Don’t forget we FALL BACK after Saturday Night. Please make sure the clock you are using is set back an hour or you will get to our site REALLY EARLY!
- CHECK IN OCTOBER… Please sign up for food on the online list at the top of this page.
- For this gig, we are part-time players and part-time cheerleaders. Whichever WGTB group isn’t playing their tunes, is cheering for the runners. They like it when we are loud and energetic. Parents you are highly encouraged to join in the cheerleading fun. Feel free to make a paper banner/poster letting the runners know WGTB is cheering for them.
- This will be a great gig. We will play through our tunes as many times as necessary to encourage MOST of the marathon runners going by.
- Parents are encouraged to bring chairs. This is a great opportunity to get to know ‘Beater families.
- After we finish playing it could take a LONG time to get out of the marathon traffic. Everyone is trying to get out at the same time. Plan for a long wait.
