Parents and members I would have loved to have had this out to you earlier this week but with the postponement of school Mr. Koehler, Mrs. Taft and I have had to redo the calendar several times in the past 72 hours to make sure we are safe and able participate in putting our marching band together. Our calendar has passed Mr. Ackerman but please be aware that due to the fun times we are living in, this calendar may change and I will communicate that with you if something were to happen.

As of today...7-31-2020 we are looking at doing band in 3 phases with full participation from each member in all phases, but split in a few different ways.

Phase 1 = August (Split band)

Phase 2 = September (Full Band)

Phase 3 = October (Full Band but better)

In phase 1 all members will be assigned to either band A (Which will be led by Annie Bledsoe) or Band B (Which will be led by Ellie Benson) Guard and Percussion will also be split at this time and I will make announcement very soon on where and when they will be, but be prepared to practice on the Tuesdays and Thursdays! This phase will include putting a few small tunes together and preparing them for a community performance later in August!

In phase 2 all members will practice together on the assigned days (Tuesday/Thursday) and will prepare for another community performance opportunity!

In phase 3 all members will practice together to continue polishing ideas and earlier tunes to put together a final performance production.

In all of these phases there will be some Friday after school and Saturday responsibilities. I am aware of the SAT test on the 29th which is scheduled to be our first performance. That performance will be in the afternoon/evening to accommodate our smart kids trying to get in the dream school of theirs...or like me, a day in which I found out I was well below average at filling in my bubbles and making my mark heavy and dark.

Also, each Saturday practice will showcase our wonderful 2021 Seniors and will allow them to have/do/participate in the traditions that have been set at band camp!

Monday at 8pm August 3rd I will have a ZOOM meeting at 8pm to discuss and explain all of the components of this season. I will also meet with the treasures ASAP to adjust the money and dues for the season and pass that information on ASAP! Below is the ZOOM invite for Monday and hope that you can make it! I can't thank you all enough for being patient and understanding at this time, the US has been hit hard and these times are very rough on all of us...We will make this season something that we all can be proud of!
