1. We’ve had a great first week of practice! If you continue to improve and work as hard as you have, we will truly be a Superior Band this year! The staff is thrilled!
2. Today was a tough day of parade marching! Be sure to bring plenty of water and stay hydrated. If you show up on an empty stomach, you’re going to get tired. Eat a good breakfast!
3. The good news: Based on your improvement today, that will be our longest day of parade marching. There is no bad news. You marched more miles today than you will in the parade.
4. Plan on some light parade marching tomorrow, fundamentals, and a good chunk inside for sectionals. The faster you memorize your music, the easier everything else will be. If you need help, ask a leadership team member or a staff member. We will be happy to assist you.
5. PLEASE make sure you have your uniform ready to go. Pictures will be the evening before the HOF parade.
6. Dress for the parade: Black socks, black Drillmaster Band Shoes, marching band tee shirt, and full uniform (no hats, no gloves).
7. La Pantera needs to be checked off by next Friday (a week from tomorrow)
8. We start learning drill for the opener on Monday!
