• Last week, I made a bet with our students that if they could march and play the opener, I would cancel Thursday’s rehearsal. Fortunately for them, unfortunately for me, I lost this bet. Your kids have done a FANTASTIC job the past few weeks under less than perfect circumstances. Since I am a man of my word, there will be no evening rehearsal on Thursday. But rest assured, I will work them extra hard on Thursday and Friday morning!
• Decisions are still being made regarding our uniform this year. At this point in time, it is imperative that each student has their black Drillmaster marching shoes. Each student will be provided with a black band tee shirt that must be worn to every performance, whether or not we are in full uniform. Shirts were ordered today and will be distributed to your students as soon as we receive them.
• I know this has been a strange summer, but it’s been great to be together making music again. Every day we have together is better than a day apart, so keep working hard and enjoy what we’re doing!
• Any parents who wish to watch this evening’s rehearsal may do so, IF YOU STAY IN YOUR VEHICLES. If parents congregate outside of their vehicles, I will be forced to shut down our rehearsal. We welcome your support…we just have to do it differently this year. So feel free to come see your kids march tonight, just stay in your car please.
• Reminder that next week is Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 7AM-11AM. You are off Monday and Friday.
