Changing Weather/Announcements

As we move in to October the weather is becoming more unpredictable - please make sure you are prepared for rain or cold at every rehearsal! You may want to keep your band raincoat in your band locker for a rainy day or make sure you have something in your school locker as a back up! The weather is also turning colder and I'm still seeing students in t-shirts and shorts on the field. We want to keep everyone healthy for our performances so please make sure you are prepared for the weather!!

Band Spectacular is coming up on Thursday, October 13. We still need a cover design and we have extended the ad deadline to next Wednesday, October 5. There are examples posted in the band room as well as online if you are interested in designing a cover or placing an ad to wish your section good luck! Forms are outside the office for ads if you need one and it is also posted on the Band Spectacular page on the website.

With October also comes early evening rehearsal - we lose the light early so we have to move the rehearsal up to 5:30 - 7:30. Please make sure your ride is at Midpark at 7:30 - we have some students being picked up a full half hour after rehearsal is over! Please make sure your ride is aware of our 7:30 ending time.

We start performing the Motown show next week! Pass-offs are due by Wednesday before rehearsal! Make sure you are ready to perform and work with your pass-off leader to set up a time to meet with them. We have been reminding you of this deadline for a few weeks! Make sure you don't procrastinate!

Enjoy the City books and orders are due now! If you have not already turned your orders or unsold books in please do so Monday!
