THOUGHT OF THE WEEK/MONTH/YEAR

SHOW MUSIC IS READY TO DOWNLOAD!

Except for percussion (sorry). 
Everyone else, you can download and start practicing your music today.  The folder below includes the fight song, the National Anthem (aka the Star-Spangled Banner), the Alma Mater, some cheers, and the show music (BAD 2023).  THE SHOW MUSIC IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE HANDED OUT IN MAY!  I had to change the key to make it work better for us.

SUMMER REHEARSAL LOCATION UPDATE

Due to renovations at SCHS, we are not able to have our summer rehearsals at the high school like we usually do.  Here's the plan instead:

• July 10-14 is Color Guard and Percussion Week.  These rehearsals are 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. and will be held at Screven County MIDDLE School.  Percussion will be in the SCMS Band Room; Color Guard will be in the SCMS lunch room.

• July 18-21 is Leadership Team meetings in the mornings (8 a.m. - noon).  These meetings will take place at Screven County ELEMENTARY School.  Come in the front entrance at SCES; the exact place we will meet is TBD.

• July 24-28, July 31, August 1, and August 3 is BAND CAMP for all marching band members.  Band Camp this year will take place at Screven County ELEMENTARY School.

We also have rehearsal in the evening on August 8 and our Family and Friends Preview Show in the evening on August 10.  As of right now, those things will take place at SCHS on our practice field.

SPEAKING OF RENOVATIONS...

If you follow the band on Instagram (@screvencountyband), you saw this the other day:

Won't it be nice to walk from the Band Room to the main building while it's raining and not worry about dodging the leaks?
