Puma Band,
The Nov 19 updates are below:
Good Evening Puma Band,
The purpose of this e-mail is to provide updated information.
1. The permission form for the Chick-Fil-A December 8 Football Classic is attached. There is no cost associated with this trip. Last year we were invited but did not participate. This year we will participate.
2. Marching Band will practice Monday, November 26 (from 4-7pm) for our possible Dec 7 (State Football performance), Dec. 8 Chick-Fil-A performance & the Sunday December 16 DMV Battle of the Band performance.
3. Sign up to participate in Pep Band. Currently, we need Tuba players.
4. Selected members of the Drumline (Trevor, Jalen, Sharmayne, Kyree, Tyree, Antoine, and Vernon) will perform Dec 5 at the Nation Black Caucus Youth forum. See me for a permission form.
5. We need workers for the December 3 (8:30pm) Redskins night game. I am offering an extra 100-trip credit for those students who work the entire game. I need adult help. Adults, whit a Redskins badge, please Help. I can not continue to work all of the games alone.....
6. Students, start saving your money. The deposit for the Myrtle Beach trip will be due soon!!!!!! I am sending you another copy of the proposed itinerary. Currently, I am looking into a new hotel.
7. Band Students, as you know, I am leaving to go to Wisconsin to be with my Parents for Thanksgiving. Therefore, I will not be here this weekend. However, I have trained you to function in my absence. Do not do anything new, unplanned or un rehearsed. Remember to represent Puma Pride and good school spirit. Use the good home training your Parents taught you. As usual, the Drum Majors (Shanita & Lady) will conduct the band. Follow Directions. Those selected members of the drum line (you know who you are) follow directions. The band will not take a 3rd quarter break. Finally, do not tarnish our good reputation or cause embarrassment upon our school. I trust you and know you will do the right thing.
8. If, and when, we win Saturday we perform in at the State final game Friday, December 7. More details will provided after the game.
9. Saturday is a regional playoff game, therefore, only performing band students and the active band managers will gain free admittance. All others must pay admission and enter through the fan gate.
10. Band students, after the game ensure that my room is clean and the trash can are placed in the hallway in order to be dumped.
11. Mr Luna, Mr. Mackey, Ms. Boulware, and Dr. Dove will supervise the band. Mr. Hawkins will provide water.
The attire is all-black! No (Trevor) exceptions.
