Announcements 8/25/19

1)  We have an away game this Friday night at Trinity.  A full itinerary will be available on Monday.  We will still be wearing the Band Shirts and khaki bottoms to this game.

2)  I want to thank everyone for a great event last Tuesday night.  I want to thank everyone in the crowd for being patient with the change of venue due to the weather.  And I especially want to thank the parents who helped work the event for being flexible in everything that changed in a 10 minute span!  It was an encouraging night for the students to get all the cheers from the crowd!

3)  If you haven't turned in your smart cards yet, you need to do that ASAP so that they can get sent back to the company before we are charged for them.  They charge us for each card that does not get returned whether they are sold or not.

Announcements 8/11/19

1)  The Jamboree is this Friday night at SGC.  You will be wearing Khaki bottoms and band T-shirts with Tennis shoes.  No hats. We will perform the National Anthem at approximately 6:50.  We will perform at approximately 7:30, and you will be dismissed from the band room after we put everything in its proper place.  A full itinerary will be posted tomorrow.  Admission to the event is $6. 

2)  We have rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday, and I also know that some section leaders have scheduled sectionals on Monday.  If at all possible, please attend these sectionals.  They are led by the section leaders and are the best chance to get individual attention on any trouble spots in the music and/or drill. 

3)  Please mark Tuesday evening, August 20 on your schedule for the 1st Annual SGCHS Band Family and Friends Preview Show.  We will feed the students after rehearsal, then perform the show for our friends, family, and the community at 7 pm in the Football Stadium.  To help us get a good start to the season, we are also using this as a fundraiser.  With your $5 admission, you will receive a burger, chips, and drink and a chance to see the band in the early stages of the show without all of the added noise of a football game.

4)  I am asking for donations for the Preview Show.  Any extra that we have left over we will be able to use for the Hornet Invitational this year:

Woodwinds - Pepsi - a 12 pack of 12 oz. cans

Brass - Aquafina water - a 24 pack of 16.9 oz. bottles

Percussion - Mountain Dew - a 12 pack of 12 oz. cans

Guard - Flags - the variety packs of small chips, Rifles - a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi

Announcements 8/4/19

1)  School is here!  You will not need instruments on Monday, but you will for the rest of the week.

2) Remember we have afterschool rehearsal every Tuesday and Thursday until 5:30.  But we will also be going outside even on the other days of the week, so always bring a change of clothes to be ready to go outside during class.

3)  Booster meeting this Tuesday at 6:30.  We will be going over the job assignments for the Hornet Invitational as well as some logistics for some other events this month.

4)  You have the first two weeks of school to finish selling the Smart Cards.  If you need more, let me know and I will get those to you.

5)  We are looking at having pictures taken this week.  Seniors, on Wednesday you will wear uniforms for your Senior Banner pictures.  Guard - I expect your uniforms in shortly.  We may have to reschedule your pictures for later in the week or early next week.  Full Band will take pictures for the Football program on Thursday.  It is taking longer than expected to get the Band T-shirts, so plan on wearing Khaki bottoms (pants or shorts) with a black top.  Try to wear as plain black top as possible but if it has something small printed on it, it will be okay.
