Good morning,
I hope everyone is doing well. We are coming up on spring, which means there is a lot going on for the band program.
Band Booster Officers and Meeting
We will be taking nominations or volunteers for officer positions for the next year. If you know someone who would be a good fit for a position, or you wish to fill the position yourself, please send me a name at michaelmelton@cleburneschools.net. Please remember that in order for someone to be in office, your student must be in the RHS Marching Band.
Positions are: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer
Please send these nominations to my email before next Thursday, March 11th.
Auxiliary Tryouts
Auxiliary Tryouts are coming up. Packets are available in the office and the band room.
The dates are as follows:
Dance Line/Majorette
March 15th-18th, Tryouts are March 22nd (2:30-4:30PM)
Color Guard
March 23rd-25th, Tryouts are March 30th (2:30-3:30PM)
Please make sure you fill everything out as soon as possible.
Drum Major Tryouts
Drum Major Auditions will be April 1st, 2021, after school. Tryout packets will be available next Tuesday for anyone interested.
Potential Marching Band Clinics
This year, since we didn't really march much and were limited due to Covid, we didn't get to have an actual marching camp. What I plan to do is have one week per section (auxiliary, brass/woodwinds, percussion) and give a simple refresher on the basics. This would be a simple, two-practice deal, where they stay Monday and Tuesday until 4PM and review so we are not so behind in the summer. More on that to come.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
