1) Welcome back to school! We are jumping in with both feet this week because we have our first performance at the Jamboree in 2 weeks! We have afterschool rehearsal from 3:30 to 5:30 on Tuesday and Thursday of this week. Remember to bring a change of clothes and your water so that you can be ready to go outside. You can store these items in your cubby in the mornings.
2) We have a band booster meeting this Thursday at 6:30. It's a pretty big meeting as we get things going for this fall. We will talk about the Hornet Invitational and the job list to go with that, we will have chaperone and pit crew sign ups for all of the performances, and we will talk about the fall schedule in general. Be there if you can to get the full information about the coming Marching Season.
3) The Parent/Community preview night of the field show will be at 7 pm on August 18. We will still have rehearsal that day, but will make sure the kids are fed before the performance. More information about this event will be available Thursday at the Booster meeting.
4) We are making two changes to rehearsals over the next month. We will be having two night rehearsals so that parents can learn what help we need during the field show and practice doing these jobs. This also give the students a chance to be on the football field at night to prepare for performances. The two night rehearsals are August 25 (before the first home game) and September 13 (before our performance at our competition). These rehearsals are from 6:30 to 8:30. We will not have the regular 3:30 to 5:30 rehearsals on those two days.
