-------
1 1/4 inches of rain fell on Auburn on Saturday and my primary camera stopped functioning. All of the band videos were taped with a backup camera and the quality is not as good....

Stopped raining fot the field show performance. I will have video on Sunday-I had a backup camera with me.

My camera did not like the rain before the parade so I was unable to provide any parade video. Sorry about that.

The next Band Booster meeting will be on Tuesday November 24th at 7pm in the band room.

This is one week later than the usual monthly schedule.

• The Auburn trip schedule information sheet
• WSDOT Pass Conditions
• National Weather Service weather forecast
• Text updates and probably some video of the morning parade are likely to be posted here on Saturday afternoon. Auburn does not have separate preliminary and final competition performances due to the morning parade - so WV performs once at 5:45 pm. That performance will be taped but not posted until later on Sunday, back in Spokane.
  
• Map to Auburn Parade & Stadium
  The Veterans Day parade runs down Main St. The competition takes place in the stadium on 4th NE (do not confuse with SE!) opposite Auburn High School. Zoom in on the "A" tag on the map.
