Game Day!

It's time for THS Football, along with THS Band!
Friday call time for marchers is 5:30 pm, and we'll decide at that point whether to uniform or not. Non-marchers, check with Irving for your call time. 
Here we go!

Let's Go To Linfield!

We have been invited to go out to Linfield College and play pep,pep, pep for their (really, really good!) football team. Yay! We have performed at Linfield in the past - they have no marching or pep program and instead they bring in high school bands from the region to entertain the crowd. Now it's our turn - and they give us a performance stipend. As in, money. Wow!

Here are the details:
  • Saturday, September 30
  • 10am - call time
  • 11:15ish - unload and stage equipment
  • 12:30 pm - EAT PIZZA!!
  • After - pre-game pep
  • 1 pm-ish - SSB
  • 1st half - pep and more pep
  • Halftime - Tigard High presents White Blank Page!
  • 2nd half - even more pep
  • After - load up and head home
  • Sometime between 5:30 and 6 pm - arrive THS and go home
MB will wear the uniform; everyone else will wear pep and decent jeans or nice walking-style shorts. The forecast is for temperatures in the mid-70s and mostly sunny, so wear sunscreen, and don't forget your water. 

Let's do this!

Band Camp Is Over!




Hey folks, we've had a pretty successful band camp and we're ready to do some serious work on the ballad when we get together next week. Here are a couple of things to know:
  • We do NOT have rehearsal on Monday September 4. That is Labor Day, a Federal holiday, so the school will be closed. 
  • If you didn't know that we have no rehearsal on Monday September 4, you need to check out the calendar over on the sidebar. The one that says "McKee's MB Calendar!".
  • Since we don't have rehearsal on Monday September 4, it is even more important than normal for you to hold yourself accountable to rehearse your parts. Those who wish may get together with fellow bandmates and have a field sectional on the turf. Please be aware the temperature on Monday is forecast to be 100 degrees, so if you decide to have a field sectional, make sure you go over early in the day. No heat sickness for us!!
Have a great Labor Day Weekend, and we'll see you Wednesday evening!
