Season Recap - 11/21/10

Thank you so much to everyone that went along with us to help, support and cheer on competition weekend. The whole weekend was a huge success and we should all be very proud of our accomplishments. I could not be happier with the students performance on the field at Finals and the way they conducted themselves off the field after the final results were announced. I know that deep in all of our hearts we were a little surprised by the end result, but we need to remember the feelings the kids had in the parking lot after the performance. There is no trophy or award that can replace the way they reacted to their own performance. "IT" was definitely in their hearts as they came off of that field.

There are so many people to thank for the success of our band this year. It would be impossible to name everyone, so thank you to everyone that played a part in this grand production.
You may think that Football season is over, however, our team is experiencing a lot of success as well. They won their first playoff game this past Friday while we were in Tampa and they play again this Friday. If they win again and host another game next Friday, December 3rd, we will most likely go as a pep band. Don't panic, no more props, or pit, or capes. Just a pep band. More info will come after the game this Friday.
Speaking of next week, we are shifting quickly to concert and indoor season and here is a look at the week ahead.
- Tuesday(11/30): Holiday Band 3:00 to 4:30 PM (All 3rd and 4th Period Students), Indoor Guard and Drumline 5:30 to 8:30 PM
- Wednesday (12/1): All County Auditions @ GHS
- Thursday 12/2: Holiday Band 3:00 to 4:30 PM Indoor Guard 5:30 to 8:30 PM
- Friday 12/3: Indoor Drumline 4:00 to 8:00 PM (If no football game)
Be sure to join us at our Winter Holiday Concert on Monday, December 13th at 7:00 PM in the GHS Auditorium. We will present the sounds of the seasons and there is a rumor that there may be an encore performance of Scheherazade.
