Please note that the competition is not at Cambridge HS.  You will want to get directions to McFarland Stadium in Cambridge, OH.  Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for children, and $5 for senior citizens.  Kids 3 & under are free.  I do not know if they accept cards, so it would be best to be prepared with cash.  They will have full concessions and programs for sale.  Come out and support some great Ohio HS Marching Bands!

Congratulations to Olivia Beadle

General

Congratulations to junior percussionist Olivia Beadle for being selected to the prestigious Ohio Music Education Association All State Band.  Membership in this group is based on a recorded audition .  Nearly 1000 students from the state of Ohio applied this past year.  The OMEA All State Band is the most select honor band in the state, and this is a tremendous honor for the students selected.  The group will perform at the OMEA State Conference in February.

•  Welcome back to school!  Make sure to bring concert instruments as we will play mod 17/18 on Thursday

•  A reminder that practices this week are Tues, Weds, and Thurs from 2:45-4:45

•  Wednesday and Thursday(especially) are going to be a bit toasty.  Be sure to bring plenty of water and hydrate before practice.  I HIGHLY suggest bringing a change of clothes as we will be outside.  A reminder that your shoes still need to be marching band appropriate for after school (don’t march in sandals, dress shoes, etc)

• On Friday, we will march down to Pfeiffer to perform for the 6th graders.  Wear your black band tee shirt! 

•  Friday night is home vs St Vincent-St Mary, and we are hoping to have much more enjoyable weather than we had at our last game.  Doors open at 6, warmup at 6:30, Pregame at 6:40.

•  Have a great first week back and let’s make this one of our best years yet!

HOF Week!

General

•  We are off to a fantastic start!  Keep up the good work.  The weather looks great for the week so we are hoping to get significantly better by Friday.

•  Band pictures are Friday at 6PM-  Be at the uniform closet by 5:30PM.  Dress for pictures will be full uniform minus hats and gloves.

•  HOF Parade is Saturday!  We are one of the first bands this year.  Doors open at 6AM, buses roll at 6:20AM.  We will return to PHS when the parade is over….probably before 11AM, but it’s hard to tell from year to year.  Dress for the parade is full uniform minus hats and gloves.  You MUST be wearing black socks that go to at least your calves.  No ankle socks, etc.  If you are dressed incorrectly you will not perform.

•  A reminder that hair must be neat, no facial jewelry, and if you wear earrings they must be tiny.
