CMU Band Band Day Uniform Update – High School Marching Band

Mr. VanStrien

CMU Band Band Day Uniform Update – High School Marching Band

As we have mentioned in previous posts, we have been in communication with CMU and other participating Band Day Directors.  At this point, all the other participating schools have now decided to wear their summer uniforms and we will be doing the same.  Summer uniform consists of our white Beatles t-shirt and shorts.  All Beatles t-shirts have now been distributed. Students do need to have appropriate SHOES and SOCKS that they can march in.

With this uniform change, we hope to have an enjoyable and memorable event for all students!  We will do our best to stay out of the sun whenever possible.  PLEASE MAKE SURE STUDENTS HAVE SUNBLOCK AND WATER.

We are still accepting donations of cases of water.  If you can help, we would greatly appreciate it.

 

CMU Band Day and Projected Forecast

Mr. VanStrien

CMU Band Day and Projected Forecast – High School Marching Band

We are watching the weather carefully and making plans to keep the kids cool if the temperatures do reach into the 90’s on Saturday.

There has been discussion among the participating band directors on what their bands will be wearing because of the heat.  As of now, we will be wearing our our white show t-shirts and athletic shorts for the morning rehearsal.  After we change into uniform will will wear the bibbers and t-shirts in the stands until half time where we will put on the coats and shakos.  We will not use gauntlets or gloves for any part of the show.   This plan may still change based on input from the other directors.

CMU Band Day Lunch and Dinner Plan

Mr. VanStrien

Attached to this post is a PDF copy of the form students received in class today regarding lunch plans for the CMU Band Day next week on September 23rd.  On the form, there is an option to order a Firehouse Box Lunch for $7.00 that will be delivered to the students for lunch.  You also have the option to bring your own lunch with you.  Regardless of what you decided we do need the form back from every band member to make sure they have a plan for lunch.  

On the way home, we will stop at the McDonalds in Lakeview if the student wishes to purchase food at that time.  They will also have the opportunity to purchase food at the concession in the stadium.
