Good morning,
This week we have a few important things coming up. Please be aware we have an exhibition next week (Sept 23rd) that is mandatory. Talladega county made a special exception to allow us to come so we could get helpful comments.
Game VS BB Comer (Away)
This week we travel away again to BB Comer. The schedule is as follows:
Call Time: 3:30PM
Depart for BB Comer: 4:30PM
Arrive at BB Comer: 6:00PM
Kick-Off: 7:00PM
Game Ends: 9:30PM
Depart for RHS: 10:00PM (Estimated)
Arrive at RHS: 11:30PM (Estimated)
Signing Out After the Game
Yes, we are letting your students sign out after the game because it is a far away one. There are a few things you and your student need to know about what to do and not to do when signing out:
1)Only legal guardian can sign the student out (no friends, boyfriends/girlfriends)
2)Student must have arranged with a student going back to RHS to unload their instrument and equipment.
3)All equipment and trailer must be packed up ready-to-go before they can sign out. Once this is done, the student may go and get their belongings from the bus.
4)When checking out, go to the bus your student rode to the game to sign them out.
Practices the Week of September 27th
This is our week of "Competition Practices". This means we extend our practices 30 minutes and we have a Wednesday practice. We have always done weeks like this for competitions. The schedule is as follows:
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday - 2:45-5:00PM
Wednesday - 2:45-4:30PM
Talladega County Exhibition - September 23rd
We are going to the Talladega Exhibition on September 23rd. We have not received a schedule on when RHS performs, but we should get it soon. The plan is simply to drive down to BB Comer, perform, and come home. We will not stay and watch other bands.
Talladega Band Competition and Fall Break Practice (READ)
While I know this is super early, I wanted to let everyone know. We have a football game and a competition the last weekend of Fall Break. Talladega is a competition our students enjoy. It is October 9th, 2021. The schedule will be posted as soon as I get it. As a friendly reminder, competitions are mandatory and missing a competition with an absence that is not excused results in dismissal from the program. This competition has been on the calendar since July (You can view the calendar from the "Calendar" tab above or visit the link here: RHS Band Calendar
Since we have a game that Friday (10/8), we are going to have a short practice before the game. This practice will start at 3:00PM (AL Time). This is so we can make final adjustments before our big day.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
