Announcements 9/20/20

1)  We will not have after school practice this Tuesday - except for the drumline.  The drumline, not Front Ensemble, will still have their Tuesday sectional from 3:30 to 5 pm.  Tuesday is the ACT day for seniors and they will be excused from school after they finish the ACT.  And besides that, I want them to be focused on succeeding on the ACT Test and not even have to think about the afterschool rehearsal. 

2)  We will have after school rehearsal on Thursday from 3:30 to 5 pm.

3)  No game this Friday.  And once again, great job last Friday night.  It is great to see the huge strides of improvement from week to week!  Thank you for your hard work every day!

Announcements 9/13/20

1)  Great job on Friday everyone!  That was the first time we played through the whole song and the first time we marched and played at the same time!  We are going to be adding a couple of sets for this week's performance, and make sure you are working on your memorization of the song.

2)  Rehearsals this Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5 pm.

3)  Report time this Friday will be 6 pm at the practice field again.  The schedule on Friday night will work the same as last week.  Attire will also remain the same.

4)  If you didn't get a chance to turn in your Smart Cards and money last week, make sure you get that turned in this week.

Announcements 8/23/20

1)  Our home game is scheduled for this Friday.  Since we aren't having classes Friday, the Band will report to the practice field at 5 pm for a rehearsal.  Go ahead and have your Polo shirts that we will get this week along with your khaki shorts or pants and comfortable shoes that you can march in.  We will play the National Anthem at 6:55, then come inside the building until halftime.  Group 1 will wait in the Band Room, Group 2 will wait in the Cafeteria, Group 3 will wait in the Main Gym, and Group 4 and percussion will wait in the Aux. Gym.  After halftime, you will be dismissed.  You are allowed to use your flip folders during the halftime show this week.  Also, any time we are inside you must wear your masks and practice social distancing.  

2)  Rehearsal Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5 pm.  And be prepared to go outside every day that weather allows.

3)  If you need more smart cards, just let me know and I can get you more.  You have until September 9 to sell those.  

Announcements 8/16/20

1) I advise you not to bring your instruments on Monday.  We are not going to be playing in class, so it might be better to wait until Tuesday morning to bring your instruments.  If you do want to go ahead and bring them, I should be in the cafeteria to let you down the Fine Arts wing to the band room.  You will need to go back to the gym after you drop off your instrument, though.  

2) If you are a Digital Learner coming to class, do not come to class tomorrow since we won't be playing.  Wait until Tuesday.  You will enter through the school's main office to get your temperature taken, then go to the Band Room.

3)  After school rehearsal this Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5 pm.

4)  Our first fundraiser, the Smart Savings Cards, will be handed out tomorrow.  Also tomorrow I will give more information on how to sell these cards online if that is your preferred method of sale.
