All right, friends - it's time to show the school what we've got! Two performances in one day! Can we do it? You bet we can! Here's what you need to know:
- Call time for the assembly is 8:30am. PLEASE let your 1st period teacher know at the beginning of class that you will need to be leaving. Mr Irving sent an email, but your teacher may not know you are part of us. Be polite.
- Make sure you have your pep shirt. That is the uniform for tomorrow, and you don't perform out of uniform. Don't have a pep shirt? No worries - we will distribute shirts in the morning.
- Yes, YOU MAY bring music and stands with you. But you must share - there is not room for everyone to have a stand. Gather around your friends who play the same instrument you do, and share.
- Call time for the football game is 6pm. PLEASE make sure you eat something reasonable between the end of school and 6. Protein and carbs will help you with good energy. Soda and "energy drinks" will leave you weaker and wobbly - stay away from those.
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Friday will be hot, so make sure your body is prepared. Water is your best friend.
- Pep shirt and reasonable (i.e. McKee-approved) shorts or pants will be the uniform. Shoes, not sandals. Yes, it's a neon-out. Neon tape, laces, etc WILL be approved. Please be tasteful.
Please note: we WILL present the Star Spangled Banner at both performances. It is the most important song you will perform, and MUST be done correctly. If you are still learning the SSB but do not know it fully, we ask you to be judicious in how you play. If there are notes about which you are unsure, that would be the place to "air" play your part. If you are confident, please play out.
