We've Done One - Now Let's Go Again!

Now that we've been to a show (thanks, Sherwood friends!), we know what to expect. Yay! As we get ready for the Liberty competition, there are some very important things to do and to know:

• EVERYONE needs to come to rehearsal. The success of the ensemble depends on it.
• "But McKee - what if I'm behind on my schoolwork? Isn't that more important??"
• Homework is neither more nor less important than rehearsal. If you are behind, there are things Irving and McKee can do to help you get caught up. Let us know, and we'll help you out. Really - it's what we do. 
• As the weather is changing, make sure to bring layers to rehearsal - it's getting cooler in the evening.
• Remember to eat well and to drink plenty of water and other healthy beverages. And get some good sleep
• Read the information on the sidebar that is important for MB students. There is at least one document none of you has read this year. (How do we know? Oh, WE know.)
• And remember that we have that special performance on Sunday Oct. 23 - our Happy Happy Birthday parade for Dr. Helen Benscheidt, a long-time educator and resident of Summerfield.

It's Show Week! Let's do this!

It's Show Week!!

Hey Band! (hey, what??)

The first presentation of our show is THIS WEEK - yay! Here are the details:

• We have 2 rehearsals before we perform. You MUST make these a priority.
• It is imperative that you eat well, hydrate well, and have a good sleep pattern this week.
• On Wednesday, we will work on Friday's performance, including practicing how to get on and off the field.
• You need to drink water. Lots of water. All week.
• You need to plan what your nutrition will be on Friday, between the end of the school day and when we arrive.
• And you need to drink water. Every day. All day. (I might have mentioned that before...)

 Let's do this!! 

Welcome Back!
