READ: Important Updates

 

  1. A reminder that all students must be present at every rehearsal as per the band handbook policy that all students and parents signed prior to camp. Any emergency absences must be conveyed by parents to the directors by email ahead of time. As we learn new drill and prepare for the upcoming performances, it is extremely vital that every student is present at every rehearsal.
  1. An adjustment to the schedule for Tuesday evenings is in effect starting next week.  All Tuesday rehearsals will be 6-9PM for all students.  This is in effect for various reasons and should also help out with the extreme heat recently.  The band rehearsed on Tuesday evenings for 20+ years until 2 years ago when it was adjusted. Thank you for your understanding and any adjustments that need to be made. Students will now be able to get a breather before rehearsal, do homework, eat dinner and then return for a great evening rehearsal under the lights.
  1. The TICK TOCK show shirt is on sale until Thursday, August 25th.  The extended order form is on our website. Click here for form!
  1. Uniform fittings are starting soon. Please see the uniform flier that was handed out in classes from Ms. Dusty WIilliams and also on our website for more information about required clothing, gloves, shoes, and compression garments. Click here for the form. 
  1. A reminder there is no rehearsal this Thursday so students can attend DCI Drum Corps Live Stream at Opry Mills from Championships. visit dci.org for more details!
  1. The August Band Booster Parent Meeting is this Monday, 8/15 in the NE Cafeteria. Make sure to be an active supporter of your student and the LONG BLUE LINE. It takes everyone helping out in different ways to make the band season a huge success.  STAY IN TOUCH, BE INVOLVED!
