Band  Places
First
In  Division
Juit over a month ago, on September 2nd, the Huntley Redskins Marching Band performed in the Chicago Labor Day Parade.
The Marching Band wag recently awarded prestigious honors for taking first place in their division for their grand performance in the parade. The three trophies awarded were entitled: AFL-CIO 1988 Chicago Labor Day Parade Marching Band Division III - First Place; AFL-CIO 1988 Chicago Labor Day Parade Marching Band Division III - Best Drums; and AFL-CIO 1988 Chicago Labor Day Parade Marching Band Division III - Best Winds.
The school year has just begun, and the marching band is really moving. The band has nowhere else to go but up...up to bigger and better things. Look for the Huntley Redskins Marching Band to perform during a Chicago Bears football game half-time special in December of this year. Yes, that's right! Only a few months from now. We'll keep you posted on the time and date as soon as it's available from Doug Schuler, band director.
Let's all give our Huntley Redskins Marching Band a huge round of applause for a job well done! Congratulations to you all!!

National  Fire Prevention  Week
Last year 4,660 people died in the over 551,500 residential fires in the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). In addition, 20,440 were injured, and residential property damage hit an estimated $3.7 billion.
"The numbers speak for themselves — people are being needlessly injured or killed in fires," says John Scott, a safety professional with the Country Companies. Scott spends a great deal of time each year giving fire safety programs to schools, and working with other groups providing fire safety information as part of his job with the insurance and investment group.
"October 9-16 is National Fire Prevention Week. Now is a good time for people to review their home fire safety efforts, says Scott.
Smoke detectors are probably the most inexpensive and effective way to warn your family of fire.
In general, you should test your battery-operated detectors once a week, and AC-powered units once a month.
Make a home fire escape plan and practice it regularly with your family. Make sure everyone knows at least two ways out, and plan a safe meeting spot outside where you can account for everyone.
