2021 MARCHING BAND-UPCOMING
WINDS: We welcome 8th grade brass and woodwinds this week to begin working with the 9th-11 graders. On Tuesday, rehearsals will be from 6-8pm on the eastside (water tower side) of the school. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early to check-in for COVID protocols. Drop off by the tennis courts. More details and a map will be sent out on Tuesday before rehearsal.
These rehearsals will be dedicated to movement and fitness. Students will not need their instruments. Students will need to wear athletic clothing, athletic shoes (running shoes are best), have water bottles, and you will need to bring a towel to lay down on hard surfaces such as the parking lot or gym.
Rehearsals may change places, be shortened, or cancelled, due to weather conditions and space availability.
GUARD: This is for any current 8th-11th graders interested in being in marching band for the upcoming year. Workshops will be on Thursdays from 5-8pm. Procedures: Wear a mask, have your items, and check-in with the guard instructors. Students will need to go through COVID-19 protocols with self certification when they arrive.
PERCUSSION: This is for all current 8th-11th graders planning on doing band next year. Over the next couple months, our percussion staff will be working with students and setting them up on assigned instruments for the marching season.
