What a great summer marching camp!  Great work, band!  All my best on a fantastic first week of school this week!  A few notes for school week one:

1.  Each morning, be sure to pack your duffel with marching clothes, tennis shoes and a FULL jug of iced water.  Many of you need to check the lost and found in RH1 for lost jugs 

2.  Monday’s after school rehearsal :

• 5:00pm – begin dressing out for after school rehearsal
• 5:10pm – move out to stadium
• 5:30pm – rehearsal begins in stadium
• 8:00pm – dismissal
• Keva Juice is taking orders during band classes for smoothies.
• These smoothies will be delivered after school on Monday between 4-4:30pm.
  Each smoothie is $4.00.  If you are interested, bring $4.00 with you to school and order during band class.

3.  Tuesday and Thursday after school rehearsals begin at 4:30pm on the practice lot

• Dismissal will be 7:00pm

4.  Woodwinds – Bring both your marching and concert instruments on Tuesday (for class)

• Brass – Bring both your marching and concert instruments on Thursday (for class)

5.  Make sure all your stands tunes are in your flip folder!  We are using flip folders out on the practice lot after school this week… be prepared!  We also advise writing your name clearly with a paint pen on your flip folder.  After the Georgette tune at each game, we will be collecting the flip folders in bins on the field as we head towards set 1 of the halftime show;  thus necessitating your name being written on your flip folder.

• Fight Song
• School Song
• Game Time Tunes
• Bad Romance
• Jumpin Jack
• Immigrant
• Hoosier

6.  Write in your step-outs to movement 2 in your band binder!

7.   All music that should have been passed off by this time is as follows:

• Movement 1
• Movement 2
• Fight Song
• School Song
• Jumpin Jack Flash
• If you have not done this yet, you have until THURSDAY by 3:45pm.  Those students that lack pass-offs will receive an email from Ms. Stevenson saying that you will not be able to use your instrument during the Alamodome game halftime show.  Work diligently this week to get your music passed off!
