Special Request for a WaruBand Family

Volunteers needed for a special project…… As many of you may or may not know, our 2010-11 drum major Caleb Hendrixson recently lost his sister. He returns to TCU today and his parents have requested that we send him a letter or card of encouragement throughout the spring semester. He was extremely close to his sister and they spoke or texted each day. We would like a designated volunteer for each week of the spring semester. Please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and the let me know your availability. I will send you a reminder early in your week with Caleb’s address. Thank you for your continued love and support of our band family. 

If you prefer to randomly drop him a note that is great also.

Thank you

Jonette Penton
