This week we start the beginning of three weeks where the band is split for rehearsal. Monday is woodwinds only. Tuesday is Guard, Brass, and Percussion all with their own designated times. Woodwinds and brass will go form 5:30 to 8:30 on their respective days and Guard will go from 2:30 to 5:30 while the percussion will stay at the normal 6:00 to 9:00 time slot. The next two Wednesday's the hornline will stay after school for our "Choreography" session's with Derek from 2:45 to 4:45, and the full band this week will run the 2:45 to 4:45 on Thursday as well to accommodate for the performers at Fall Festival. Friday night we will have our annual "Lock-in" with rehearsal that evening being 8-11 and the "Lock-in" portion being from 11pm-8am Saturday morning. Information pertaining to the "Lock-in" will be included in a parent email. Saturday will be the annual "Fall Festival Parade" with members reporting at 11am and the parade starting at noon. All members will need to park on the side by the band trailer and enter through the loading double doors. After the parade all members will be shuttled back to the school from the end of the parade route to have lunch. At 2pm we will finish our week with a 2-5:30 practice and a public preview for all who would like to attend at 5:40. If the parade were to get rained out, we will make adjustments accordingly and will communicate via text and email. Enclosed in the show itinerary tab is a "Fall Festival" itinerary for this week, in that itinerary you will find all of this information broken down in an easy to follow time line!
