 Hey Band! (hey, what??)

We've got 2 (TWO!) more rehearsals, and then Championships! Yay! So here's what's up:

  • PRACTICE YOUR PART AT HOME! Work on it the rest of this week, and over the weekend. You need to know it sleeping and waking.
  • Eat well, and stay hydrated. Get good sleep. 
  • Come to Monday's rehearsal ready to work hard. 
  • And for Wednesday, we're opening the field rehearsal to friends and family to see what we've accomplished! And we'll have snacks and hot chocolate!

First Show is In the Books!

Hey Band! (hey, what??)

Saturday was SUCH a good day! 


Now that we've performed in our 1st show of the season, we have a better idea of what to expect, and what we need to do moving forward.

Remember, at the end of the day at Liberty we agreed that we will continue to rehearse until 8pm on Mondays so that we can have field access during both of our rehearsal times each week. Please, make sure your adults know that we will continue to have 5-8pm rehearsals on Mondays, and 5-8:45 rehearsals on Wednesdays.

See you at rehearsal!  

Oh, and the Century schedule is on the sidebar ----->
