We're back online! We apologize or the few days that the website was down - but now we're back and can keep you updated!
Thanks for a great week at band camp! We had great weather, and you all worked so hard and we saw great results because of it. Rehearsals continued to go well this week and we should have our first show learned by Monday! Great work!
A special thanks to Mrs. Guinn for setting up our bowling event this week! Everyone who attended had a great time and we raised $850.00 for the band!!
A few reminders about upcoming events:
Monday, August 17 - Percussion Sectionals 2:00 - 5:00 PM, Full Band Rehearsal 6:00-8:30 PM.
Also, make sure your second payment for Disney has been sent - remember that you should have sent the registration form and your payment directly to the tour company. (These forms were included in the summer mailing, or you can find them online under members only.)
Wednesday, August 19-Full Band 6:00 - 8:30 PM. We will be playing at Meet the Meteors during rehearsal - band members who play sports should plan on attending the first hour of rehearsal, play with us t the beginning of Meet the Meteors and then stay with your team. (This rehearsal will be on the grass field behind the building.)
Saturday, August 22 - Drum Cleaning Day @ Midpark -10:00 AM All Percussion members are required to attend.
Pass-Offs start next week! The week of August 17 will be Pre-Game (Into the Future, Alma Mater, Star Spangled Banner, Fight Song). Week of August 24 - Midpark Swings! (Big Noise, Jump, Live, and Wail, and In The Mood). Band Members who are conducting pass-offs, please arrange a time each week that you will be listening to pass-offs.
Do you have a place to keep your drill books? A large folder or three ring binder is a great way to keep all your charts in one place so that they are easy to find. Remember, you will need these charts all season and you are responsible for having them with you at every rehearsal!
Parents, don't forget to turn in the Booster Patron and Volunteer Information Forms that were included in the summer mailing (these can also be found under forms on the website). Let us know where your talents are and where you are willing to help!
