Hi, hey, hello!
The Marching Eagles had a wonderful first pre-game performance on Friday at the Purple & Gold scrimmage. This upcoming Friday is our first halftime performance as well! Looking forward to seeing everyone their supporting our musicians! This Friday, we will kick off our first fundraiser for the year: Caramel apples from Bobby's Ice Cream in Maryville! This fundraiser is being used to raise funds for our new uniform budget. Our current uniforms were purchased in 2007 and uniforms usually have a lifespan of about ten years if taken care of well. While our uniforms are not falling apart yet, we would like to start saving so that when we have to purchase new uniforms, we have the money available. Thank you to Mrs. White, Maggie's mom, for helping us organize this fundraiser! The syllabus agreement form is due as a grade by this Friday, Aug. 24th. Football Games At all home football games, the band performs pre-game (what we performed at the Purple & Gold scrimmage), then we go into the stands and watch the first half of the game and participate in cheering on our football team. During the second quarter, we go down to the track to warm up and prepare for our halftime performance. After our halftime performance, we go back into the stands, take off our jackets and shakos (hats), and we are off third quarter of the game, which means students can go eat, hang out with their friends and family, go to the bathroom, etc. For fourth quarter, we are back in the stands as a band, cheering on the other team! We will need some help on football game nights: we will need water, people to help carry and set up the drum major podiums, as well as help setting up our front ensemble, uniform help; all of these things that help our band be the best they can possibly be! Call time for football games is 5:30pm, with dismissal being when the game ends (around 8:30/9) If you have any questions about our football games, please let me know!
