Hi, hey, hello!
July 6 and July 8 - Winds - Canceled I wanted to update you all on our plans moving forward. The state of Illinois recently released their Back to Learning plan and our district is currently working through what that will look like for us. At this point in time, we are working in groups of 10 people or less, following Stage 1 of the IHSA guidelines. Percussion and guard have been meeting in these groups since the middle of June. I was hoping that by next week that we would be able to move to Stage 2, which allows groups up to 50 with strict guidelines and regulations, but that hasn't come down the pipeline as of yet. Since we had to cancel FUNdamentals Camp, I added rehearsals to July so that we would still be prepared. Unfortunately, at this time, we do have to cancel next week's wind rehearsals that were scheduled for Monday, July 6 and Wednesday, July 9 from 9am-12pm. Percussion and color guard are still able to meet in the groups of 9 and they are scheduled as normal. Winds, plan on still attending the rehearsals on July 13 and July 15 from 9am-12pm. I am hoping to have new information to share with you soon. Thank you for your patience during this time.
