2010  IAFF Fallen Firefighters Memorial....... IMPORTANT: 

New ground rules.  If you are not an active or retired member of the IAFF and wish to participate, you must contact me in advance to secure your spot in the activities.  Everyone must register in advance.  There will be very little leeway in this requirement.

 

We will be have a practise on Thursday evening ( practice chanters for the pipers and sticks & pads for the drummers) to help iron out any musical issues.  This should not take very long, but I would really like to see everyone there.

 

If your group will be arriving late ( later than Thursday afternoon), please let me know!  As in year past, I am really counting on all the Pipe Major’s and Band Directors to make sure that everyone that you bring is 100% on all the music before they get there.

 

Thanks again for being such a great group, and if there are any questions, feel free to contact Hunter.
