Playoffs You have probably heard our football team is doing very well, which will likely lead us to playoff football. We want to be there to support our team! It is best to start looking ahead and planning on Friday evenings after the regular season has ended. Go Broncos!
We are happy to be able to do our traditional auditorium show again this year, however, we are not yet able to add the potluck that we usually would do before the show. We will still begin with an awards presentation followed immediately by the show.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at rehearsal and the game tomorrow!
Here is the detailed scheduled for tomorrow. Time is short, so be ready!
3:00 Rehearsal begins on the Marching Band Practice Field
3:00-4:00 Review “You’re Welcome” with Music and Drill / Playing – Can You Feel the Love Tonight
4:00-5:00 Pregame including Fight Song (Stadium Version) and Star Spangled Banner
5:00-5:30 Stand Tunes
5:30 Dinner (Boosters are providing pizza – Bring your own beverages)
6:15 On Field to run halftime and Pregame
You will be getting a new version of the Fight Song called the Stadium Version. The Stadium Version is the same technique that University Bands us to make sure the melody can be heard at any part of the stadium.It has a lot more people playing melody and countermelody is added to the melody in selected parts.We’re really excited about it!
GO BRONCOS!
