Hi, hey, hello!
Congratulations to the Marching Eagles for their 1st place award yesterday at the Murphysboro Drums at Appletime competition! Along with first place, we received Best Percussion, Best Music, and Best Visual. Go, Eagles! There were a lot of moving parts for this competition and there are a lot of people to thank. Thank you to those who donated snacks: Sue Walker, Hoffman family, Eldridge family, Ballard family, Oehmke family, and Rudd family. Thank you to those who helped chaperone the buses, set up equipment, tear down equipment, drive a trailer, etc: Danielle Conn, Stacey Hoffman, Theresa Maberry-Eubanks, Andrew Wood, Dave Price, Jared McRae, Becky Sayles, Leonor Calixto, Scott Reynolds, Andrew, Grace, and Estelle Meyer, Charlie and Jen Gross, Laura and Todd Ballard, Anna and Jim Pearson, Alyssa Bonnell, and Pete Diamond A few extra shout outs this week: Charlie Gross - One of the tires to the trailer blew out on the way home Saturday night and Mr. Gross changed the tire on the side of the highway. Thank you, Mr. Gross, for going above and beyond for our students! Jim and Anna Pearson - One of the tires to the front ensemble cart blew last weekend and the vibraphone tires were flat. Jim and Anna came up to the school prior to call time to fix these issues for our kids. Thank you! Mr. Newell - Mr. Newell texted me Friday evening to say that the truck that pulls our trailer was driving weirdly and had a tire issue. (The theme of the weekend was TIRES!) Mr. Newell woke up early on Saturday morning, drove the truck to the shop to get the tire fixed, and then drove it back to the school for us, ensuring that we had what we needed to perform successfully this weekend. Thank you, Mr. Newell! Bobby's Apples Pick-Up Pick-up for those that sold Bobby's Apples will be THIS THURSDAY, Sept. 23 from 2:40pm-6pm in the CMHS Commons. Powder Puff Football Game The band has been asked to play at the Powder Puff Football Game on Sunday, October 3, leading into Homecoming Week. This is an amazing opportunity for us to show our school spirit! We will perform School Song and the National Anthem prior to the games, then perform our halftime show between the freshmen/sophomore and junior/senior games. Exact details will be shared closer to the event, but please save the date: Sunday, October 3 from approximately 11am-3pm. Those who are wanting to participate in the game itself will still be able to do so - I do not anticipate any issues, but you will still be expected to play both pre-game and halftime. First Quarter Playing Test The first quarter playing test has been posted to GoogleClassroom. This test is due on Friday, Oct. 8 @ 11:59pm. Halloween Parade The Halloween Parade has been confirmed for Tuesday, October 26. More detailed information will come out closer to the date, but a costume is required for the Halloween Parade! Plan ahead and BE CREATIVE! This is such a fun parade, especially if you go ALL OUT! That being said, remember you have to march... :) Make-Up Assignments If you missed a performance for an excused reason, make-up assignments will be posted to GoogleClassroom. They are due a week after posting and late assignments will NOT be accepted. Goals before our next performance The big goal before our next performance is to learn the second movement. We are going to start learning our 2nd movement drill this week, so every rehearsal matters. Continue to communicate with me when conflicts occur.
