Mother Nature hasn't been very kind to us lately! Below are the items I would have mentioned at the parent show last night:
At this point, we are planning on performing for anyone that is in attendance at the stadium on Friday morning at Joe Quintal Stadium at 7:30AM. It wont be the same as the community show but at least a chance to see the show before we perform that evening at the football game. Friday's call time for the game is at 5:30PM. Mr. Stahle If anyone is interested in ordering t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, sweatshirts or hoodies this year to wear at the football games and marching band competitions, please see order form below. If you are interested, please download form, fill out and bring money down to Sungold before August 28th. If you have any questions, please contact Sungold Sports direct! Thanks! Dear Parents,
On Saturday, August 25th, the marching band will be traveling to Sioux Falls to participate in the Roosevelt Marching Clinic. This is a great opportunity to work on our show EARLY in the season and get some great feedback from the amazing clinicians they bring in. I know there are some conflicts with other activities and we expect that everyone that does not have a conflict is in attendance (this has been on the schedule since March). If some of you have activities that you can attend and then make it to the clinic, that would be greatly appreciated! Below is the itinerary for the day: 8.25.18 6:15AM - LOAD BUSES 6:30AM - DEPART FOR SIOUX FALLS 7:30AM - EVERYONE UNLOADS ALL EQUIP AND SETS UP FOR CLINIC 8:00AM - LEADERSHIP CLINIC 10:00AM - GE CLINIC 11:45AM - LUNCH 12:45PM - MUSIC CLINIC 2:45PM - VISUAL CLINIC 4:00PM - DEPART FOR MITCHELL 5:00PM - APPROXIMATE ARRIVAL 5:30PM - DINNER PROVIDED FOR BAND AT THE PAC 7:00PM - KERNEL BOWL (Just playing music in stands) Roosevelt provides a t-shirt that we will be wearing at the clinic.
