Hope everyone is having a good week. We are now really into the downward stretch to the end of the school year. Fantastic job to all the RHS Bands that performed last Thursday at the concert. We've received many compliments and I hope you know I am proud of you all.
Band Banquet
This week is our 2019 Band Banquet. It takes place at Freedom Baptist Church and begins at 6:00PM AL Time. Students, please remember this is for immediate family only. Students, please do not forget to sign up for desserts.
Drum/Percussion Camp
Next week is our 2019 Drum Spring Camp. All percussionist marching next year are required to participate. There is a slight change to the schedule: Practices will take place Tuesday-Friday until 4:30PM due to awards night on Monday. Please show up prepared and focused to get a good kick start to the next year.
Rest of the Year
Since our Spring Concert is over, we will be switching our focus back to Marching Band for the next two weeks. Students are expected to have their instruments in class. Our last day of playing will be May the 17th. It is important that all students take their instruments home that day. We will be performing inventory on all instruments during the summer that are property of RHS. If your instrument is here, it will become the band's.
Also, remember ALL marching band deposits are due May the 20th. We will take these also at our June Band Booster Meeting (June 10th).
Summer
This summer, dance line will be practicing a few times before band camp actually starts. Marching band, please remember to PRACTICE your music over the summer. If you want success, you must lay the groundwork for success. We could have the entire show on the field by the end of camp if everyone does their part. I will be placing music in PDF form on the website soon as well as recordings of the music for you to listen to.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
