· Tuesday is our second basketball game. Call time is 5pm. You need to wear GC shirts or GC colors. We will be at the game until about 9pm. Same rules apply as football when it comes to being late. You do not need to get food until after the girls game. During half times we need to use the bathroom and head back. Each time I release you for a break you must be back with 3 minutes left on the clock.
· Reminder that I will be opening the band room on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11 for those that want to come in and practice or receive help. Make sure you let me know ahead of time if you are coming so that I can let coach Taylor and Officer Tosh know.
· Memphis honor band students need to turn in their room $ by Wednesday!
· U of M honor band students we will be meeting in the band room at 11:30 on Thursday morning to leave.
· The music we are working on this semester is much more difficult than anything we played last semester. This is where we really become great musicians. For us to be successful I need each person to spend 2 hours a week practicing. You can break this up however you like but that is what will get us Superiors come concert festival time. This practice needs to take place at home.
· All-West will be next week.
