April 24, 2009: AdairBand.com's Macy's fundraiser thermometer is at $78,056! Thanks, most recently, to the Band Dads earning $1,056 waiting tables and washing dishes at Betty's OKCC, 2933 Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY.

Last night, the Band Dads worked late. On either side of the clock, ACHS Band Parents do more. Above, it was Dawn Patrol as they were up seeing the bus off for a Spring Break Tour of New York City in 2006, a trip made all the more memorable when the band made national television on Good Morning America, with fellow Kentuckian Diane Sawyer.
