Dear Marching Band:
I am very concerned and disappointed at the events that transpired at the rehearsal. My position is that I trust the band and except for everyone to respect the Drum Major. After practice, I spoke to several Seniors and expressed my disappointment that Seniors Band Members. This is simply unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I have not created a culture of disrespect in the band. Remember, the Drum Major is in charge of the band and I expect everyone to respect and Honor his position and obey his commands.
In closing, I expect the Senior Band Members to take the lead and compose a formal letter of apology to Alex, the Drum Major. Secondly, I expect the band to offer verbal apology as well. This will take place this Saturday before the game.
Students, remember our motto is: Motivated, Dedicated, Respecful, Responsible, Teachable, Puma Pride. Let's rise up and demonstrate what we stand for. I never want anything like this to happen again.
