Your Presence Is NEEDED In Order To Present The BEST Show!

We have been experiencing an issue over the past few weeks that we have not had in a number of years. I am going to reference Thursday and Friday of this past week. We had 9 students miss rehearsal on Thursday and 12 on Friday. In 2 days, we had a total of 21 holes on the field. Now, please understand that some of these were excused because of emergencies or illness which are always excused. I fully understand that "life happens" to us all from time to time. However, we have some that are not excused and this is frustrating for everyone from the staff that have a job to do, to the people that are marching next to an open spot.
As a staff, we cannot get the band ready for the next level of competition if we don't have EVERYONE all of the time. Your kids are important and in this activity, everyone is the starting quarterback. We have some big weeks coming up and we need everyone!
Starting Monday, September 18th, we will be going back to our old policy. If a student has an unexcused absence, they will not perform at the next competition/football game with the band but rather stand at attention on the front sideline. The idea is that everyone does what they are supposed to do, when they are supposed to do it.
There are less than 7 weeks left! Hang in there! This show is going to be stunning when it is complete!
I hope to see a HUGE crowd over the next 2 weeks since we are competing in town. GO EAGLES!
