URGENT MESSAGE

It has come to our attention that the "director ladder" used by the drum majors is in dire need of repair, preferably replacement. With this close to the competition I am sending out this to all parents in hopes that someone MIGHT have one of these "platform ladders" either at home, or possibly be able to borrow one at work. Chances are these are at commercial sites and not your normal home ladder.

If someone DOES have a link to obtaining one, we need it by TONIGHT J
-- kind of an emergency of course. Attempts to obtain a new one appears that it takes two weeks to order. So if we could borrow an existing one for several days, this would be IDEAL. Please contact Marty Stipe directly at marty.stipe@state.or.us . If he doesn't reply soon enough or it might be after normal work hours, please call him directly at (503) 508-6062.

It needs to be approximately six feet at the "platform". You've all seen it at the performances, we just wanted to make sure all know of what we're speaking about. The failure of this piece of equipment with one of the drum majors on it would be devastating as you might imagine.

Thanks in advance for ANY assistance you might be able to provide at this emergency request.
