Announcements 9/27/15

1)  The South Side Away Game and the Gibson County contest is this coming weekend.  Itineraries will be posted tomorrow (Monday).

2)  We need sponsors for the Hornet Invitational Program and the trophies.  I will repost the sponsor forms this week.

3)  Booster meeting this Thursday at 6:30 pm in the Band Room.  We will be finalizing a lot of details about the Hornet Invitational.  

4)  It was great having snacks and gatorade at the competition this past Saturday.  We will need some more for this coming weekend.  If you can bring one box of snacks, it will be enough last not only this weekend, but our next contest as well.

5)  It was also great having so much help this past Saturday at Liberty from the parents!  We couldn't do it without you, and we hope you keep coming out to help and support us!

Competition announcements

1)  Students will need to bring enough money for two meals on Saturday - lunch and supper.  With concession stand prices, I recommend $20 total.  We will have snacks available at our buses, but not the full meals needed to sustain the energy needed for two performances.

2)  Admission to to get in to watch the competitions is $10 for each competition, or $18 if you go ahead and purchase tickets for both at the same time.  You can purchase these at the gate.  Parents that have signed up for Pit Crew/Chaperone duty will not have to worry about this fee since you will be working with the band.

3) If anyone has any pavilion tents they would be willing to let us use, it is great for the students to have a shady spot to relax in between performances.  

4)  Parents that are working on Pit Crew - you need to wear all black for the performances.  I am fine with putting on black scrubs or loose jogging pants over what you will wear the rest of the day.  I just want us to be invisible on the sideline and behind the props so that we do not draw attention away from the band.  

5)  FYI: It might get a little chilly by Saturday night, so you may want to consider bringing jackets and pants for the evening.  

Announcements 9/20/15

1)  Night Rehearsal this Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:30.  Please be on the football field in the opening set of the show at 6:30 with your instrument.  This also means there will not be our normal rehearsal at 3:30 to 5:30.  However, we will have our regular Thursday rehearsal from 3:30 to 5:30.  

2)  Parents who want to help out with Pit Crew and Props, please come to this Tuesday night rehearsal.  We need as many parents to know how to run the props and pit crew as possible so that we can always have enough people even when some can't make it to some performances.  We will also need to discuss what to wear at the performances.  

3)  Our first competition is this weekend!  Remember that you will need to bring money for concessions for both lunch and supper.  We will have snacks provided, but not full meals.  Concession prices for competitions are usually comparable to football game concession prices.  Also remember to have a change of clothes to wear under the uniform so that you can come out of the uniform in between performances Saturday.  Freshmen:  Upperclassmen will be glad to answer any questions you have about Competition Day!

4)  We are still looking for sponsors for our Hornet Invitational Trophies and Programs.  I will be reposting that Sponsor form tomorrow.
