1)  The Parent preview night is tomorrow night at 7 pm!  Gates will open at 6:15.  I need two parents to work the gate to collect the $5 admission, and three people to work the concession stand to hand the food out as people come in.  If you can be there at 6 pm to help with these two things, please send Mr. Price a message.  Keep in mind we will shut down the gate and concession stand when the performance starts so that those parents can watch the show.

2)  Students will need to report at 6:15 Monday night in the Band Room for warm up and set up.  You will need to wear sectional T-shirts for Monday night's performance and the Field Show T-shirts for Friday night's performance, both with Khaki bottoms and tennis shoes.

Announcements 8/1/21

Welcome back to school!  This first week is a big one, so let's get ready to roll!!!

​​​​​​​1)  Rifles will meet Monday afternoon from 5:30 to 7 pm in the cafeteria to learn more work for movement 2.

2)  Afterschool rehearsal Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30.  

3)  Band Booster meeting this Thursday at 6:30 pm in the Band room.  This is a big one!  I will have sign ups for chaperone/pit crew for the football games and competitions and the Hornet Invitational Job list as we kick off the 2021 Marching Season!  

4)  Be prepared to go outside any day - watch the weather and have clothes appropriate to the temperature.  I would advise bringing a change of clothes and shoes every day along with water just like at Band Camp.  You can put them in the Band Room in the morning before school.  In the morning, the outside band room doors cannot be unlocked, but you can come through the school once you get inside and come to the band room from the inside.  You can then drop off your items before the bell rings so you don't have to carry them around all day.  At the end of the day, students are allowed to be picked up right outside the Band Room door. 

5)  We will not be playing instruments on Monday.  This half day is a day to go over school procedures and policies.  Be prepared to go to your homeroom class at the beginning of the day (I think Freshmen may start in the gym), but listen to the announcement at 7:45 bell to make sure.
