Auditions for the All-Star Marching Band are coming up soon.  This year we will be auditioning EVERYONE.  (In other words, if a student was in it last year, they will have to audition again.)


 
Please see the link below for the music.  We will not spend much time in class on this so working on it on your own is a must!


I hope you will try out for the band this year!  It is going to be excellent!!!

We need a half-dozen people to help us tomorrow...we will be meeting at 3:45. There is one piece of equipment that needs to be unloaded, but the percussion platform is in the way, so I need help lowering it without killing myself!

Please reply here or text me @ 552.7013 if you can assist!

We will be meeting in Wal-Mart parking lot, North-east corner, closest to the lawn and garden entrance. We will be done by 4:30, as that's when Holloway closes.

THANK YOU!
Jim Daniel

Things to remember!

              Please arrive early at the high school on show days! Practice will start at the shown time!

• All members are expected to stay together at shows… We use the buddy system when going to the restroom, going to get food, ect. YOU ARE NEVER ALLOWED OUTSIDE AT SHOW SITES UNLESS WITH A PARENT OR COACH. 

• Hair and makeup is not an option, nor will it change on show days… You are expected to practice your hair and makeup before our first contest on the 31st. We expect the members to be doing their own hair and makeup… I do not want any members relying on parents to achieve the look that we want. 

• Bring enough money to eat two meals on show days. You are encouraged to bring healthy food with you!!!! We will always give  you an opportunity to eat as you get ready before we leave the high school. 

• YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STOP AT SIT-DOWN-RESTAURANTS ON YOUR WAY TO AND FROM CONTESTS, HOTELS, ETC. A sit-down-restaurant is classified as any with waiters. You can feel free to sit and have a quick meal at McDonalds, Subway, Wendy’s, etc. 

• Contest days are stressful enough as it is, If anyone has a question or concern (this is mainly for parents) you are to come to Jessie, Joi, Sean, or the supervised chaperone that is with us. Please do not involve the performers in any concerns or questions that you may have… They should have a STRESS FREE ENVIRONMENT ON SHOW DAYS! 

• In the past, show days have felt like a chore with everyone stressed out… We want this season to be different, and be able to give the members everything that they need to succeed!!!!!! 

If you have any questions let me know! We will go over all of this at the meeting tomorrow! 


I CANNOT WAIT FOR OUR FIRST SHOW!!!!!!!!


Thanks!
