Our football boys are hosting Newberg (surprise!) for the 2nd round of the OSAA playoffs, so we're going to pep, pep, pep in the stands, AND we're going to present an encore performance of our award-winning field show for our home crowd! Here are the details:
- Call time for everyone is 6pm
- MB will be in uniform, and decorations are highly encouraged
- Rumor has it there may be occasional dabbing, ala Dave and Craig
- We'll be finished when the game is over, and this will (really) be the final field performance of our show
- If/when the boys win, we will follow them to their next location and pep, pep, pep - either Lincoln (Portland) or Sheldon (Eugene) next Friday
See you all then!

Watch this space for more details, coming soon!!
Here's what you need to know for this week:
- Regular rehearsal Monday and Wednesday, 5-9. Regardless of the weather, we will be here. Make sure you are, too.
- Special rehearsal Friday, 9-1. Everyone needs to be here (except Hugh - he will be in class. Poor Hugh.)
- Truck loading at 1:30 on Friday. Loading crew this week is Low Brass, along with the usual (percussion) suspects.
As stated earlier this season, rehearsal this week is essential. Please do not
come and talk to me about your need to miss rehearsal to study for a
test, write a paper, go shopping with your grandma, apply for a job,
or any other excuse. We have talked extensively about your need to
manage your time so that your studies do not suffer because of Marching
Band, and your rehearsal time doesn't suffer because you fall behind in
your studies. And you have every other evening during the week (and Thursday!) to see
your family and friends, and to do other non-band activities.
Other important notes:
- Eat well. Protein, healthy carbs, good fats. Lots of water and minimal caffeine. NO SODA.
- Practice good sleep hygiene and get a good amount each night.
- Keep the drama to a minimum. Hang out with people who help you be the best person you can be, and be good to those around you.
Check out Saturday's schedule on the sidebar. You can find the full Spectacle of Sound schedule HERE.
