I figured I would post the weekly update early. Next week is our first game against Glencoe and another week of practice!
Dressing for Practice
This week one thing I noticed is that students are coming to practice dressed in sweaters and long pants. I strongly have been discouraging this due to the possibility of it exaggerating heat exhaustion. I've told the students to bring hats and sunglasses as well to help them out. Shorts and a t-shirt are best for practice.
Game VS Glencoe
Friday, August 30th is our first game AWAY. Call time is 4:00PM (AL Time) sharp. We plan on departing at 4:45PM. For Friday games, please make sure your student wears their band shirt and shorts. We should arrive home around 11:00PM. If you sign up for Remind101, I usually send out three texts to the participants: when we leave, when we are close and when we arrive. Please make sure your student is picked up on time that night.
Please make sure your student has money to buy food at the concession stand ($15 should be more than enough.)
Band Jackets and Gloves
Remember! Pink gloves for the students, to support breast cancer awareness for October, is due August 30th as well as Band Jacket orders.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
