BUS DRIVERS!
Upcoming 9th grade parents,
the Georgia Bridgemen need you!  The 2010-2011 Band season will be the biggest year yet!  We’re expecting close to
460 Bridgemen which means we will need to add buses to our convoy.

If you haven’t noticed, when the Bridgemen roll, we make our own parade.  Traveling through towns all over the east, people stop in their tracks to watch our parade go by, wondering where the end may be.  We’re expecting to roll with at least 14 school buses, our semi trailer and assorted trailers, not to mention our great Deputies this band season.

Most people don’t know that you, our booster parents are the drivers of the buses.
We can’t do this without your help! This also gives you a very good chance to go everywhere the Bridgemen go!

We need you to step up and volunteer to drive a bus or to be a back up driver for your child’s band season.

Please contact Matt Jackson, Ga Bridgemen Transportation Director at mrmattjack@yahoo.com or 229-740-3798 for information.
