Band News week of Dec 3, 2007

Hello Band Families,

I'm sure you have all heard about the sad passing of one of our CBHS students, Rafe Maccarone. Details about Rafe and his service schedule for Friday evening and Saturday morning and online guestbook information can be viewed here: http://www.beckmanwilliamson.com/view_obit.php?id=0

This Thursday's Varsity Soccer game (6 pm) vs Cocoa will be dedicated to Rafe. Also, next Thursday's home game with Merritt Island HS will be dedicated to Rafe. As a resident of Merritt Island, Rafe knew and played soccer with many Merritt Island HS students. Please dress warmly (red colors are requested) and support Rafe's and his teammate's vision that the stands would be full at Soccer games.

This Saturday's Cocoa Beach parade involvement by the CBHS Marching Band and other school groups is still on. Rafe's family chose the early morning service to help insure that parade commitment that Mr. Cool and CBHS made to our town of Cocoa Beach can be kept to participate in the annual parade. Just as we will continue to support Soccer, please support the decision to move forward with our involvement with the community even at this sad time.
