Hello, band families—all parents and students are copied. Congrats to all of our performers on their halftime debut Friday night! Mr. Olivero's photos of the performance are up (password is: rfh2026). This week we have our typical Tues/Wed practice, the game is on THURSDAY, and we have our first SATURDAY practice.

If this is your first year in band, it's also your first AWAY game this week! We take a bus to away games, and we perform our field show BEFORE the game, during the pregame period (as soon as the teams finish warming up). Then we perform in the stands for all four quarters. Performers have halftime off to watch the other band and get snacks.

Saturday practices are essential to getting prepared for our first competition at the end of the month. We'll be learning new music, flagwork, and drill. Saturday practice vibes are a throwback to band camp, when we can come in fresh, focus on a task, and take our time getting it right. This Saturday we're also getting to practice in the stadium! We love our practice field, but it's always great to get to practice where we will ultimately perform.
