The Weeks Ahead - 8/21/12

Parents and Students,
School begins on Monday and so that means we will be getting fired up in the band room.  Here is what is coming up for the next two weeks as well as some important reminders.

  • Monday, 8/20:  First Day of school.  Students will not need instruments.
  • Tuesday, 8/21:  Students will need instruments for class.  After School:  Horn Line 3-5, Pit/Battery/Guard 5:30 - 8:30.
  • Thursday, 8/23:  Full Marching Band 5:30 - 8:30
  • Friday, 8/24:  Full Marching Band 3:00 - 6:00
  • Monday, 8/27:  Full Marching Band 3:00 - 5:00

Reminders
We have two fund raisers going on right now.  The cup fund raiser will be wrapping up this week.  Last call will be Friday, 8/24.  The Yankee Candle Fund Raiser still has a few weeks left.  Order forms and packets are available in the band office.

All State Auditions will be the morning of Saturday, Sept 17th at BHS.   Audition material is available through Mr. Pirzer, but students will need to come ask for it.  Auditions will be $10.00 and I will have registration forms available on Tuesday.

Students who have ordered marching band shoes will need to pay for them before I pass them out.  Those that have already paid will receive their shoes on Monday.

Guard students should bring their shoes to class on Monday so we can fit and order shoes for those that need them.

Expectations:
For this week, we expect to clean the drill and music for 1000 Airplanes and then also learn the drill for Lord's Prayer on Friday.  For our first game we will perform 1000 Airplanes with full props and uniforms.  

See everyone on Monday,
Bill
