• We are off to a great start! Keep working hard and get your music memorized. The faster you memorize, the easier the marching/drill is!
• Make sure you are drinking plenty of water not only at rehearsals, but also at home. As you are quickly learning, the PHSMB is an athletic activity. Prepare like an athlete.
• At the request of the vast majority of students in the PHSMB, the morning rehearsals during 2 a days week will be 7-11 AM. Even though the staff will be cranky, it does keep the kids out of the heat.
• Charts and dots for the opener are now online. Dots will be updated as we go along. It’s a good idea for leadership team members to download copies of the charts so you can you help set forms.
• We have zero information on the HOF parade. Once we know times we will share that information. At this point in time, plan on departing PHS around 6:45AM and returning a bit before noon.
• Many sections have get togethers the night before the parade. Please remember that you are performing in a lengthy parade the following morning. Eating entire pizzas and drinking a gallon of chocolate milk will not help you perform well. Please eat appropriately, and eat a “light” breakfast the morning of the parade. It is also important that you sleep.
• Marching Band pictures will take place Friday evening before the parade in the stadium. We will have order forms for you when James Woods Photography gets them to us early next week.
