Announcements

• This is what you need to have with you every day for band class and after school rehearsal:

• • • Instrument

    • Tennis Shoes for outside

    • Music in your black 1.5inch binder with sheet protectors (must have every day)

    • Drill Book

    • Red water jug-refill these at the water filling stations BEFORE you come down to the field

    • Pencil

    • These things are needed every day as we will be outside unless it rains and then we will make it work. Failure to have these will drop your daily grade.

•   For after school rehearsals we will wear our rehearsal shirts again:

• • • Tuesday - Band Red, Guard Blue

    • Thursday - Band Blue, Guard Red

    • Ball Games - Red. Until we get uniforms we will wear khaki shorts/pants with a belt and our polos tucked in. Failure to wear the uniform will mean you will not be able to march. This past weekend we let a few slide but that will not be the case this Friday. 

    • Contests - Show shirt 

• Failure to wear the correct color on the correct days will result in extra laps. Please wear the correct color when needed as it makes rehearsals more efficient. 

•  You must pass all memorization tests to be able to march. You will have one week from the first test day to make up your test for a grade. After that week is up then whatever grade you have will stay but you must "pass" to be able to march. You will have a memorization test over the Opener Aug. 14th. These will be in person for me and Mr. Leslie. 

•   This Friday we will have our first home game. 

• The only people other than staff and band that will be permitted to enter stadiums with the band will be the PIT CREW only. Mr. Dewayne has his list and if you are not on that list then you will need to purchase a ticket to the game or contest. Our 4 chaperones will also get a bracelet to get into contests. 

• Band fee number 3 was due by Friday August 16th. If you have not gotten that paid please do so ASAP. We have to pay our bills so make sure you are making your payments on time. 

• Fundraising has gone alright so far but please make sure that you are participating in every fundraiser. It is not fair for little Tina to get the same benefits as little Johnny if little Tina didn't help with the fundraiser and little Johnny raised $1,000. Everyone must pull their own weight. 

• If you have not yet done so, please join the band app and join the band group to get any last-minute announcements. This is for students and parents. Make sure that you have notifications turned on for that!!!! https://band.us/n/adaeA0C746hcI
