Hope everyone had a restful weekend. This week we have a few things going on. The game this week is at home and is also Senior and Alumni night. Students, you will need to be here a little earlier for call time this week (5:00PM). Alumni will need to be here by 5:30PM to play through a few stands tunes with the band. It is recommended to arrive at 5:15PM so you will have time to settle in and sign in.
Marching Band
As marching band slowly closes out for the season, practices will begin to be once a week. This week, we have practice Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday students will have their Halloween practice (they dress up in what they had Friday). Thursday is predicted to have severe weather throughout the day according to ABC33/40, so practice may be altered for Thursday. If it is, you will be notified. We are also in playoffs, which means we will host our first playoff game at RHS next week. Depending on who wins and loses, we may travel or we could be at home again. I will let you know as soon as I find out something. Just a heads up: If we win the first two rounds of playoffs we will have a game during Thanksgiving Break. Please note the band is required to be there. Also please remember if you have any band fees that are unpaid, we ask that you please pay them as soon as possible (these keep the band going!).
Jazz Band
A friendly reminder that jazz band begins today for the students who signed up. Today we will be going over what is expected and sightread a few charts. 7th and 8th grade will be required to turn in the permission slip to participate in Jazz Band.
Concert Band
We are also switching into full concert season in class. There is a possibility that we may have one or two after-school rehearsals before our concert (December 13th).
Hope everyone has a good week. Alumni, please make sure to sign up for the Alumni night this week in the previous post regarding that.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
