Holiday Bowl:
If we went, it would be in the fall, December 2010, the Marching Band would travel to San Diego to go to the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl game, where they would compete in Field Show, and march in a parade. The winning field show band would perform at the halftime portion of the football game. We would need to put a deposit down by Spring 2010.

We are looking into possibly using GTM Sportswear for our next T-shirt, and also possibly doing the package deal, where we get warm-ups and a free t-shirt.
