About 1,100 tickets are available, but get them soon — pre-sale tickets are $30, but go up to $35 this week.
Music on the march
The Foothill High School Band will hold its 39th annual school band review on Oct. 26, showcasing some of the region’s top talent with 55 Northern California bands in parade and field show competitions.
Parade competition will run from 8 a.m. to noon on Main Street. Concert bands will perform at the Amador High School theater and its multipurpose room from 7 a.m. to noon. Field show competitions will be at Foothill High starting at 3:30 and running until 10:30 p.m.

Light a candle
Mothers With a Purpose will hold its third annual candlelight vigil at 7 p.m. Oct. 24.
The vigil will be held outside the Museum on Main, 603 Main St., in memory of those lost to drug- or alcohol-related deaths and those suffering from the disease of addiction.
The group was formed to combat prescription drug abuse. It meets the second and fourth Thursday of each month at the Foothill High School library.
In 2011, Mothers With a Purpose was honored by Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley for their work in raising awareness about the prescription drug abuse problem.
