Great Job on our first performance!!!
This week we will be reviewing the closer. Make sure you have your dot book, dot sheet, and music.
This Thursday is the last day to make up your warm-up or amazing grace test to change your grade. If you have not passed all of the show music and these two tunes, you will not march until they are passed.
For you to be able to march for a performance you must be at rehearsal and complete 2 run throughs of the show each week. If you have questions, see me.
This Thursday we will be wearing marching band shoes and hats during rehearsal. This will be every Thursday rehearsal from here on. If your child has not paid for their shoes, they need to do this before Thursday. Cost is $40.
At this time all band fees should be paid. If you are behind and needing to set up a payment plan, please see myself and Mrs. Brooke.
This week we continue our after-school rehearsals. You need to come prepared the same way you did during band camp. We do not have as many hours in rehearsal, so we need to be prepared to get better at each rehearsal.
You need your water jug at every rehearsal. This is a must as we will not be using cups. You will also need your water jug for football games and competitions. Do not show up expecting to have little cups of what at any of these.
You will also need your rehearsal shirts. These should be paid for by now. The order for how to wear these is as follows:
Tuesday - Band wears Blue ; Guard wears Red
Thursday - Band wears Red; Guard wears Blue
Friday football games - Band Blue under uniform; Guard - Guard Shirts or uniforms
Saturday Competitions - Band Red under uniform - Guard - Uniform
Failure to wear the correct color or not wear your shirt at all will result in laps. BE PREPARED EACH DAY!
Make sure you wear tennis shoes on rehearsal days or bring them with you.
Since there was no Monday practice this week, EVERYONE will stay until 6 tomorrow night.
Make sure that you have watched the YouTube videos to be prepared for body warm up and opening body. When we post a video please do not post it to any Facebook page. All of our music and things are copyrighted and so it can only be done with our permission.
Make sure you stay up to date with our band calendar!
Make sure that you have downloaded the Band app and have joined our class. This is taking the place of remind. We will not be using remind anymore. https://band.us/n/a4a5687fZfyag
Also make sure to keep an eye on our band website www.gchsmarchingpioneers.org
