• Monday - 9.23.19 - Marching Band Rehearsal - 4p-6:30 (all)* - we would like to extend our next two Monday rehearsals so that we don't need to add a Saturday rehearsal. If you have a conflict, please just communicate that to us. Since this additional hour was not originally on the schedule we will not be penalizing any wind players that need to leave rehearsal at 5:30p. If you do not have a conflict, please plan on staying for the entire rehearsal. This will make us better!! Our first competition is coming soon!!

*Be prepared to set more drill in the closer and put it to music!

*Look over the animation over the weekend to help prepare for Monday's rehearsal.

*Continue to practice the visuals for movement one!!

*We want to perform the entire opener (as much drill as possible and all of the music) at Friday's game!!

• Monday - 9.23.19 - Playing Assessments are due in Google Classroom (all classes)!!

• Tuesday - 9.24.19 - Marching Band Rehearsal - 4p-6:30p (all) - We will continue to focus on incorporating our closer into the show both musically and visually as well.

• Thursday - 9.26.19 - Marching Band Rehearsal - 4p-6:30p (all) - We will focus on cleaning the show that we will perform Friday!

• Friday- 9.27.19 - Football vs. Stephens County HS - 7:30p (itinerary will be sent mid-week) - This is our homecoming game so I will be sending detailed information about our halftime show with the itinerary.
