Announcements
These were shared in rehearsal last night.
- The band room ribbon-cutting is tonight at 4:00 pm at UHS. This is not a required event, but if anyone is interested, they are welcome to come.
- Make sure to bring your coordinate sheets to every rehearsal. They are important for being able to reset forms and learn new ones. If you lost your paper copy, you can find new ones here. Either print a new copy or take a picture with your phone. If you have seen other students with the UDB app and think you would like a license, please let Ms. Peterik or Mrs. Fernsberg know.
- TMB merchandise payments were due yesterday, August 14. We will extend the deadline to this Friday, August 18th - after that, any unpaid fees will turn into fines that will be given to the book keeper. If you can not take care of your payment right now or don't know if you owe anything, please contact Ms. Peterik.
- Freshmen Day Performance - tomorrow, August 16th - Arrive with instruments, music, and equipment at UHS by 7:30 am. Meet outside of Door 10. Winds and percussion, wear your band polos with khakis and color guard, wear your orange guard t-shirts, black bottoms, tennis shoes, and tiger ribbon. Guard only needs to bring their pregame flag. We will play Eye of the Tiger, Hey Baby, and On Urbana on repeat outside door 1, then head up to the auditorium balcony to play On Urbana. We will be finished with this performance by 8:30 am. Freshmen will then join the rest of their classmates for the rest of the day while sophomores through seniors go home. Freshmen, please feel free to bring something to change into after the performance if you don't want to wear your band polo all day.
- Our first memorization test is next Wednesday, August 23rd during class. We will be testing memorization on Movement 1 (Preshow). Memorization tests are pass/fail. If you fail the first time, you can retake it as many times until you pass up until Friday, September 15th. After that, it will stay in the grade book as is.
