Band Info for 10/12 – 10/17

By On October 13, 2009

We have 3 goals to accomplish this week:
1. Strive, don’t accept – each student is to step off the UIL Contest marching field this coming Saturday knowing that they marched and played the best they possibly could. This can be accomplished only if 100% of the students are “All In” in rehearsals… mentally and physically.
2. Individual Effort – each student is to turn in a piece of paper in class on Tuesday. At the top, they write what they could have personally done better at Westlake Marching Festival. At the bottom, they write what goals they are setting for themselves this week in order to perform at the highest level on Saturday at UIL.
3. Team Effort – 100% attendance at 100% of the rehearsals leading up to UIL.
