We have had an awesome band camp and an even better first few days of school. Let's keep the momentum up!
We are into September, and that means we are into football season! This week we take on Western HS on Thursday night at 7pm. Call-time will be 5:30pm so we have plenty of time to get into our new uniforms for the first time and work out the kinks. If students are coming from Symphony Orchestra rehearsal, they should grab dinner and come as early as they can to get changed.
Things students will need to bring with them for Thursday's game:
-Long black socks to wear while in uniform
-Solid black shirt (returning members should wear black band shirt) and blue jeans to wear after changing out of uniform at half-time. If students are wearing a jacket (they should! It'll be cold!) please have it be a black jacket.
-The black undershirt will be provided to them on Thursday before the game. They will need to take it home and get it washed for future football games/competitions)

Important Reminders For Rehearsals!
Students need athletic shoes for all marching band rehearsals. They need to be running/walking shoes, and preferably ones that allow for students to roll step. Students should not be wearing converse, boots, etc to rehearsals.
Students need to bring a water bottle with them to rehearsals. They can keep their water bottle in their M-building locker if they don't want to bring it to school with them everyday. If they don't have a locker, they can come talk to me and I will get them one.
Senior Night - Sept 19th!
At our home football game on September 19th, we will be celebrating and honoring our senior class. Stay tuned for more info from our Parent co-vp's of Band, Jen Stroh and Lacey Garcia. Senior parents, please mark September 19th on your calendar!
