Here are a few last minute reminders about tonight:
1- The Christmas Party will start at 6 pm at the Curry House! We'll probably wait around for 15 or 20 minutes before we start eating, just to give everyone a chance to get there. No worries if you are a little late!!!
2- When you arrive, enter the house through the front door. I'll have the walkway swept and cleared since it will be a bit dark. My dog Jack will likely greet you, but don't let him scare you. He's a doll once he warms up to you.
3- I'll double check what food you brought with what I have on my list just to make sure I'm giving you the correct number of entries in the raffle. Once we double check, I'll hand you that number of slips of paper for you to write your name on. Once you've done that, you'll put them in the bag to draw from later.
4- We'll eat first, then play Dirty Santa, and then we will do the raffle. Remember that you don't have to participate in anything you don't want to! Feel free to just watch Dirty Santa if you like. Just remember that if you want to play you've got to bring a gift yourself. Any accessory will do: a scarf, a hat, some jewelry, make-up, cosmetic bags, etc.
5- Tonight's attire is CHRISTMAS JAMMIES!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't forget to wear your favorite pair of pajamas! Best pair wins a prize!!!!
6- Parking will be TIGHT!!!! Carpool if you can. Once the driveway fills up, be sure you are parking right in front of our fence and on our property. If that fills up, park down at the Country Club and walk back up to the house. It's not that far, I promise!!! Just be sure you are not parking on any of our neighbor's property, and be sure that if you aren't parking in the driveway that you aren't blocking it so people can't get out when they need it.
7- If you are a student who drives and you know you will need to leave early for whatever reason, don't park in the driveway.
8- This shindig usually lasts around 2 hours. Since there are more of us this year, it may last a little longer. We'll try to start Dirty Santa no later than 7 pm so that we are for sure done with that no later than 8 pm. Middle School students please be sure your parents know when to pick you up, and that they can pick you up whenever they need to! It's okay to leave early, especially since it is a school night!
I'm SO EXCITED to get this party started!!!!! I can't wait to see your beautiful faces and create a few memories with you.
Merry Christmas, Y'all!!!!!!

Christmas Party Update
The annual Bordeaux Winterguard Christmas Party will be held on Monday, December 7th, at 6 pm. It will be hosted at the Curry House, which is located right by Oaks Country Club. Simply turn onto Country Club Road, and its the first house on your right!!! Look for the white fence out front!
Naturally, we'll also have food. If you haven't signed up to bring anything, let me know what you'd like to help out with!!! I still need lots of folks to bring drinks and chips, and there's plenty of room for more food on the dessert list! See the previous post for all the details of who is bringing what and where we are running a little slim.
Dirty Santa will be played, just like in past years. This year we'll be doing Accessories as gifts, instead of just bringing what you want. This means jewelry, scarves, make-up, purses, make-up brushes and/or bags, etc. As a general rule of thumb, if it isn't a gift you would want to receive from a close friend for Christmas, then consider bringing something else. Try to cap the gift at a $15 value, and definitely don't exceed $20 in value.
Finally, there will be a raffle. Everyone who shows up will be entered once, and everyone who brings a food item will be entered more than once. There will be several raffle items to choose from, so multiple winners will be picked. Increase your chances by volunteering to bring food!!!
We also have one other special tradition for our Christmas Party: CHRISTMAS JAMMIES!!!! Start finding your favorite tacky Christmas Pajamas and get ready for a night of fun!!!
I'm looking forward to having you in my home on Monday night. It will be a very special time of celebration, as well as a great way to officially kick off the 2016 Indoor Season.
See you Monday!!!!!

Christmas Party Details
It's that time of year again!!! Time for our annual Christmas Party!!!!
This Christmas Party is held every year at the Curry House, and we typically do a lot of eating and play Dirty Santa. This is traditionally open to ALL Bordeaux Winterguard members, and this year is NO exception! This party is open to all of our Bordeaux members, grades 6-12.
There are currently two polls on Twitter with regard to the details of this event:
The first is about the date. We are either going to host this party on Monday, December 7th, at 6 pm or Monday December 14th, at 6:30 pm. There are a few things to be mindful of with these two dates, the primary two being that the 14th is during finals week, and it is the same day as one of the Varsity's clinics.
The second poll is about how we are going to handle Dirty Santa. There was a LOT of disparity between gifts last year, so we are going to categorize the gifts you guys bring. You have two options: Ornaments, or Accessories (i.e. jewelry, scarves, purses, make-up or make-up bags, etc). We'll still try to cap these gifts at a value of $15 or so, but what we bring is up to you. Hopefully this makes the Dirty Santa part of our party not quite as dirty. ;)
Please take a few seconds and make a vote!!!! You have no room to complain otherwise!!! Check the Bordeaux Winterguard Twitter Page for all the details!!!!
Naturally, the other big thing we do is eat. This year, I'm going to do a sign-up for food instead of letting everyone bring what they want.

Raffle Details:

Instead of putting all my eggs in one basket, I'm putting them into a few so I can have more than one winner. They'll be categorized too, that way you can choose which one you'd rather have as your names are drawn. Here's how it works:
Each person who shows up gets to put their name in the bag once. You can earn additional tickets by bringing food and supplies. I also allow my seniors to put their name in one extra time than everyone else. Once the time for the raffle comes, I'll draw 5 names (one for each potential raffle gift), and one at a time you'll have the opportunity to pick your happy.
I'm super excited about our party!!!! Remember to keep your votes coming on Twitter and to let me know what you want to bring. I'll keep the list updated as we move along!!!!
