Just a quick note for everybody that the truck will be leaving quite early tomorrow morning rather than mid-morning.   Any larger instruments remaining to be transported will be placed in the lower cargo compartment of the motor coach.

Also, everybody is reminded to have their forms completed upon arrival at check-in tomorrow (with ALL SIGNATURES) 12:00–12:30PM.
