Hi, hey, hello!
The first week of school is done - now just... a few more. :) The scrimmage was a success - thank you for those of you that came out in support of the athletics and fine arts in Bethalto. It wouldn't exist without your children and your support! Rehearsal on Monday is within the totality time of the eclipse. To protect our eyes, we will not be going outside until after the totality time is done. We will start rehearsal inside at 4pm. For those of you new to the high school band world, we really do start off with a bang! We have a little lull the next two or so weeks, but the goal is to complete our show so that every time we perform, we have a full production! :) What this means for rehearsals is that they are CRUCIAL for attendance. There is not a lot of time to play catch up in the upcoming weeks. What this means for those of you that need to catch up is that you will have meet with your student leader outside of rehearsal time. Please contact them - they WANT to help you! This upcoming Saturday, Aug. 26, we have the SIUE Percussion Festival. Itinerary can be found here. Percussion students and drum majors are required to go, however, if you'd like to come support our percussion section, please let me know! You may ride the bus over with us as long as you give me notice by Thursday. The Labor Day Parade held in Bethalto on Sept. 2 has been cancelled. We no longer will have a parade that Saturday morning. I was not told a reason for this cancellation. Our first football game is Friday, Sept. 8. There will be a sign up genius going out soon for volunteers for this event. The band will be needing some water volunteers as well as podium set up help and uniform business help. Easy enough process but we will be asking for your help on these nights as well as our two competition days, Sept. 16 and Oct. 14. I'm hoping that the BandShoppe order that will be bring in shoes, gloves, and guard uniforms will be coming in soon.
