Monday 10/30
I want to remind you that this is the last marching practice for our 2023 show!!! We will perform the show for our seniors to watch in the press box. These seniors have truly given their all for several years, now lets give them your all and show them how AMAZING this show is!
I will be dismissing you at 4:30 pm, so those who do not participate in Halloween are not required to attend the Trunk or Treat If you are participating bring a bag for your candy!
Parents, if you would like to attend and decorate your trunk and pass out candy, it is an open invitation, the more the merrier! If any parent has spare shopping bags it would be greatly appreciated if you brought them, as I am positive there will be kids who forgot a bag.
Friday 11/3
This is our last game and has potential to be a close one, we must be absolutely engaged in the game as we can help change the atmosphere of the game, either for the positive or negative; lets use that power wisely please! Any time that you hear the cheer team or rowdies cheer, cheer with them. No phone usage in the stands, also keep conversations to a minimum, I want you to have fun, however I want you to have fun as part of the game! There have been some games where you were absolutely amazing at crowd engagement and some where you have been very poor in crowd engagement. For many of the fans, Friday nights are the only time that they see the band program, most fans won't see competitions or concerts, but they absolutely will see us at ball games. Football games are our best place to show who we are, and why they should support you!
Uniform- Full uniform with BLACK gloves
Food- Pizza provided by Macedonia Church
Pregame- We will recognize our seniors before the game this Friday, If you bought a senior please make sure to bring the gift(s) that you bought so that you may present them to your senior Friday. Also, seniors as well as people who bought seniors, make sure to bring your instruments to the field and place them on the sideline somewhere out of the way so that you can access them quickly after senior night activities for our playing of the national anthem!
Post game clean up- We will not dismiss until ALL instruments have been put away. There was one game where we got back very late and I allowed you to dismiss before putting them away and you have gotten very lazy with it since, I will not allow that this Friday! How soon we dismiss is entirely up to each and every one of you.
As always, should you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to reach out
