Hi, hey, hello!
Happy first week of school! I typed this email on the way back from New Orleans - a quick trip to celebrate the first week of the 2021-2022 school year. I'm sending it out Monday morning; I wanted to ensure that it included everything needed for this week. This email does contain important information for this week, so please read carefully. Purple & Gold Scrimmage Our Marching Eagles will preview their 2021 marching show THIS FRIDAY at the Purple & Gold Scrimmage. The band will perform at 6:30pm on the stadium field, weather permitting. Call time (what time you need to be dressed and ready to warm-up at our designated warm-up area) will be 5:30pm. Dress for this evening will be for the winds and percussion: gloves, band polo, black bottoms (shorts, capris, or pants - no jeans or sweatpants), black socks, and marching shoes. Color guard - Paige will tell you what your uniform for this evening will look like. All ordered items (gloves, shoes, polos, etc.) will be handed out following rehearsal tonight. Following the premiere of our show, we will perform the School Song and the National Anthem to kick off the football scrimmage. The band students will be dismissed after the scrimmage starts. As it is an outside event, all are welcome to attend the performance. We are looking for some parent volunteers to help set up and tear down. Please reach out to Jen Gross if you’re interested in helping. Updated Performance Calendar There have been a few updates to our performance calendar. Please remember you can always reference the band website for the most up-to-date calendar.
