Announcements
· This is what you need to have with you every day for band class and after school rehearsal:
o Instrument
o Tennis Shoes for outside
o Music in your black 1.5inch binder with sheet protectors (must have every day)
o Drill Book
o Red water jug-refill these at the water filling stations BEFORE you come down to the field
o Pencil
o 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:
o Tuesday - Band Red, Guard Blue
o Thursday - Band Blue, Guard Red
o Friday - Section Shirt, or Red under uniform
o Saturday - We will wear Show shirts.
· 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.
· This week is HOMECOMING WEEK and we all know that it is going to be a crazy week. I want you to understand that you are still required to be at ALL rehearsals and to give 100%. I know we want to do better than we did this past weekend. Let’s push hard this week and make it happen.
· Monday we will play at the bonfire for the school. This will take place at 7:00 p.m. but you need to be in your seats at 6:30 for a quick warm up and run of the tunes. We will then head down to the bonfire and perform. This shouldn't last any longer than an hour so make sure your ride is there at 7:30ish.
· Friday we will meet in the band room at 4:30 dressed and ready in your seats in uniform. We are meeting early because of homecoming activities.
· This Saturday we will have our second Competition. We will be at Union city ALL DAY!!! We will make sure the students are fed lunch but they should still bring concession money. STUDENTS MUST BE IN THEIR SEATS NY 7:05 a.m. IMPORTANT REMINDER-Students with ride home forms can ONLY BE CHECKED OUT BY A CHAPERONE AT THE BUS AFTER A DIRECTOR GIVES THE “go ahead” for dismissal.
· Attached you will see the WTSBOA/Union City Schedule and Itinerary for Saturday.
Ride Home forms for Saturday are DUE BY FRIDAY AT 3PM AND NO LATER-BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS DEADLINE!!
· The only people other than staff and band that will be permitted to enter stadiums with the band will be the PIT CREW. 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 4 was due by September 18th. If you have not gotten caught up on payments please do that ASAP. We have to pay our bills so make sure you are making your payments on time.
· Please make sure 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.
· Trophy sponsor forms have been sent. These are extremely important as this is how we pay for the trophies for our band contest. I have attached the form already. If you need more than one form just print more or get one from me in the band office. Trophy sponsor forms and $$$ is due October 4th.
· We have 2 days left on our Cheesecake fundraiser. Make sure that you are selling for these!!! We use the money Dolly App the Join Code is : E1VG-XSPS
· 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
