1)  We will have Rehearsal this Tuesday only to prepare for the Senior Night performance.  No afterschool rehearsal on Thursday.

2)  Report time on Friday is going to be at 5:30 pm at the practice field.  

3)  I am going to reflect more on this marching season in a later post, but I want to express how proud I am of everyone involved in making this Marching Season a success!  From parents to leaders to students to the South Gibson community, everyone was supportive and encouraging in this completely new Marching Band experience.  It made the worry and trepidation of the first few weeks of school quickly turn into the joy and thrill of the past month!  Thank you all for successfully making this a truly, positively, memorable Marching Season!!!

1)  The Bands of 'Merica Regional Championships, the second in our SGC Band competition series is this Thursday!  It will be from 8 - 9 pm.  This is a change from its original time of 7 pm due to a change of a Freshman football game.  The students will once again wear their band polos and khakis, and once again report 30 minutes before their warm up time.  Band-o-gram forms will be available on Monday and tickets will be also given to students who were not at school last Wednesday.  

2)  We will also perform at Friday night's home game.  Wear the same attire and report to the band practice field at 6 pm.  

3)  We will have rehearsal on Tuesday and Thursday until 5 pm.

4)  You still have a week and a half to sell the Laundry detergent!  I know people have been asking about them, so I encourage you to put it on social media to make sure that everyone knows how to buy them.

1)  The Goat City Invitational is this Tuesday!  If you know of anyone who needs tickets, we do have some in the Band room that have been returned.  Remember to get your Band-o-grams in by Tuesday at 3 pm.  We will also be livestreaming the event on our Facebook page so that no matter where in the world you are, you will be able to see these amazing groups!  Finally, per district guidelines - ALL ATTENDEES MUST WEAR MASKS!

2)  Students will wear Band Polos and khaki bottoms.  Group 1 and percussion will need to report at 6 pm, with the other groups reporting to the Band room 30 minutes before their warm-up time.
