Thanks!!

Your performance at Game On and your work all day today were fantastic. Thanks for your awesome heart for what we do. Keep on keeping on. I'm proud of you!! Enjoy this snippet!

Now Hear This......Now Hear This!!!!!

Hey gang. This is a normal week. Sectionals and early band WILL MEET!!! : ) Trumpets will come for sectionals on Thursday since you guys are out on Tuesday. We will add the first half of the closer to the show for Friday night. Lamar will be coming to our place. Call will be Dressed and Ready at 6:00. We'll go over details as we get through the week.

If you owe for your tshirt ($15) or your shoes ($25) please pay that by Friday of this week. We'll be reminding parents of those debts on Monday night at parent/teacher conferences.

Don't forget the picnic coming this Saturday. We'll be making more $$ for the budget, food, trips, repairs, equipment etc. Thanks for your work on the last one and thanks in advance for this one.

Last, but certainly not least, thanks for an awesome job at Charleston Friday night. You gave a great show. You represented yourselves and our program well. I'm proud of you. Keep it up! We have a long way to go and a short time to get there!!!

This Week

Hey gang. Great job at the picnic Saturday. I'm very proud of all of you who worked so hard to fulfill your committment to the band. We will make a ton of money from that day. We will be doing another picnic on Saturday night, September 30. Clear your calendar. That will be another required event. Much shorter in duration - and much cooler in temperature too!!!

This week is a big week. We will perform CC Rider and I Want Candy at halftime. We won't add the closer until next week. We will begin learning drill for the closer on Tuesday. Be here and be ready. We have a lot of drill to learn for this one.

Sectionals, early band, guard, percussion and jazz will all meet at their regular times this week. Remember - early is on time!!! I'll have the schedule for Friday posted as soon as I can get it ready. I think it will be a pretty easy schedule - very similar to a home game. Watch this spot Tue afternoon or Wed am for info.

The middle school band will be playing a pep rally at h20 on thursday after school and performing at the game that night. If you would like to help with either or both of those events, please let me know asap.

Have an awesome week!!! I really appreciate all your hard work.

Don't forget our motto. It applies to everything that we do!!

Integrity first.
Service before self.
Excellence in all we do!!

THIS JUST IN.......

Hey gang! Just a few things to let everybody know about - call for the HS game Friday is 6:00 dressed and ready to roll. Come early to get your uniform and get dressed. Remember all your stuff - lyres, flips, LONG black socks etc. Friday's show is CC Rider and I Want Candy. Guard Practice Thur 7:00 a.m.

The picnic Saturday is at Columbus Acres just off 71 South behind McDonalds. Grill workers need to be there by 8:00. Everyone else needs to be there at 9:00. We'll be done around 5:30. If you need directions just call Cindy at 5219 or Lisa at the Middle School 5618 and they'll help you out. We still need about 10-12 more workers, so recruit gang. Remember if we're 1 short our money is cut in half!!!! Fill er up buttercup.
