Slight travel change to/from Everett; Revised Trip Handout available

Due to construction at Snoqualmie Pass, the district has recommended that we travel via Stevens Pass. So, on Sunday, we will be stopping in Leavenworth instead of Pike’s Market. The revised schedule is attached and the changes are marked in red. Leavenworth is always great, especially at this time of year!

Puget Sound Festival of Band/Everett trip handout

You can download a PDF of the trip handout here.

Also, I (Ed) will be going to the the band festival and will be video taping their performance. In past years, I have often uploaded the performance video during the day. Since my band competition videos have become popular on YouTube, I have had special requests to be sure and tape various bands and I will not likely be able to do the upload on Saturday. Hopefully the performance video will be online late Sunday! ... Ed M.
