Great work this week and thank you to all the parents who came to support the band at the football game and by helping out with dinner and concessions! This week we will continue learning more of the field show and have our first home game with the band in full uniform. WINDS/BATTERY/FRONT ENSEMBLE - Make sure you have long, black socks and your black marching shoes.
HOUSEKEEPING
1. If you go out to eat, you must bring money to pay for your own food. At Denny's on Friday, Mrs. Vandeventer paid out of her own pocket several bills totaling $100 in unpaid food. If this was you, please reimburse her because that is not right!
2. Please act civil in the parking lot for pick up after practice. Wait in a parking spot and DO NOT block the street, exit, or other cars. If we're practicing in the stadium, please allow 15-20 minutes for students to walk back and put away equipment in the band room. After competitions, we will be unloading hauls by the band room, so please avoid waiting along the sidewalk. We are all on the same team!
3. Please be careful what you say in the stands about other student groups. There were rude comments made towards the school dance team and those students and parents overheard it and were extremely upset. This is the same protocol in the stands at competitions. You never know who you're sitting by and it reflects poorly on our organization. If you have any issues about appropriateness, you are always welcome to address those to an administrator.
PHOTO DAY POSTPONED
Photo Day has been moved to Saturday, November 10th because there is a chance that the color guard costumes will not be ready in time. We will still have rehearsal this Saturday from 9AM-5PM.
