Chaperones – There is a chaperone interest form available.  Signing up on the form does not guarantee a slot however.  Some of the chaperone numbers will be dependent on the amount of students and seats available.   We should have a clearer picture in the next few weeks.

High School – Reminder – Marching Tech Rehearsal Tomorrow (9-19)

Reminder – Marching Band Tech Night

Tomorrow (9-19) will be our Marching Band Tech Night.  This will be some of the only time we have to work in the stadium as we prepare for Marching Festival.  The rehearsal is from 6:30-9:00 but we will wrap up on the field about 8:45 so everyone can be packed up by 9:00.   If you are a student-athlete and have a game, please let Mr. VanStrien know.   You will not be deducted points for playing in a game. 

These are some of the things we will cover:

Block C for Pregame – This works best on the stadium field

Moving props in and out of formation

Setting the Monopoly prop and its function on the field

Memorization and Sectional Work

Feedback from an adjudicator on the show

Using Backfield speakers to work on staying in step

Learning to project sound to the press box

And of course, adjusting to the bigger field and playing under the lights

Chocolate Fundraiser Volunteers Needed

We need help collecting payments, unsold chocolate bars, and distributing candy bars to students that would like to sell more. We will have a meeting in the High School band room Tuesday Sept. 20 at 6:00pm to talk about the details of what needs to be done, please try to attend if you are volunteering or are considering it.
 
Please sign up below.
