AHS MB Update - 9/9/19

Hopefully you are having a successful transition back into the school year. We are gearing up for more performances and here is some information to get you through the next two weeks:


-Rehearsal - Monday, 9/9 - 6:00-8:15pm

The weather does not look favorable this week so we will meet inside to work on music and go outside if/when we can. Please dress for the weather, we may go outside in light rain to march our spots, even if we do not bring our instruments out. Students going to Florida will receive a form to request their roommates and provide their cell phone number for the tour during rehearsal this evening, talk to your friends to begin this process.


-Band Booster Meeting - Monday, 9/9 - 7:00-8:00pm - AHS Band Room


-Rehearsal - Wednesday, 9/11 - 6:00-8:15pm

Weather looks the same, our plan will be similar to Monday.


-Band Stand Blast - Friday, 9/13 - Periods 3 & 4

Students will be excused from class during periods 3 & 4 to perform for the Armstrong attendance area 4th and 5th grade students. They should make sure they are current in the classes they will miss. It works best if students have their black shirt and shorts on when they arrive to school so they do not have to use a restroom to change into their uniform. Make sure you have your black shoes, socks, gloves, and t-shirt.


-Football Game - Friday, 9/13 - 5:30pm Call Time

Meet in the Music Department at 5:30pm for the football game (make sure you have your black shoes, socks, shirt, and gloves). We will follow the schedule explained in the Marching Band Handbook (6:45pm pregame, 7:00pm kickoff, 8:00pm approx. halftime). Group B will be dismissed after halftime.
