Announcements:

  • Great job at band camp!

  • At this time all band fees should be paid. If you are behind and needing to set up a payment plan, please see myself and Mrs. Brooke.

  • This week begins our after-school rehearsals. You need to come prepared the same way you did during band camp. We do not have as many hours in rehearsal, so we need to be prepared to get better at each rehearsal.

  • You need your water jug at every rehearsal, this is a must as we will not be using cups.

  • You will also need your rehearsal shirts. I will be passing those out tomorrow to the high school students and Tuesday to the middle school students. These need to be paid for by Friday August 5th. The order for how to wear these is as follows:

    • Tuesday - Band wears Blue ; Guard wears Red

    • Thursday - Band wears Red; Guard wears Blue

    • Friday football games - Band Blue under uniform; Guard - Guard Shirts or uniforms

    • Saturday Competitions - Band Red under uniform - Guard - Uniform

    • Failure to wear the correct color or not wear your shirt at all will result in laps. BE PREPARED EACH DAY!

  • Make sure you wear tennis shoes on rehearsal days or bring them with you. High Schoolers we will go over rules tomorrow during class.

  • You do not need instruments this Monday August 1st, but you will need it every day after that.

  • Reminder that once we start memorization tests that if you do not pass your test that first time then you will have a week to pass for a higher grade. After that your grade will be left as is if you did not pass, but you must "pass" to be able to march. You will stand on the sidelines at all performances until you have passed the tests.

  • Make sure that you have watched the YouTube videos to be prepared for body warm up and opening body. When we post a video please do not post it to any Facebook page. All of our music and things are copyrighted and so it can only be done with our permission.

  • Make sure you stay up to date with our band calendar!

  • Make sure that you have downloaded the Band app and have joined our class. This is taking the place of remind. We will not be using remind anymore. https://band.us/n/a4a5687fZfyag
