Week of August 24th to 30th
State Fair Week!
Schedule
Practice this week is Monday the 25th and Wednesday the 27th from 5:30PM to 9PM.
This week is our performance at the State Fair Parade on Friday August 29th! More information from Mr. Palmer about call times, etc. We will be wearing our red parade shirts, black shorts, black socks and vipers.
If you need help with transportation, please start by reaching out in the Band App or the parent facebook group. If your child needs to miss a rehearsal or event for any reason please, go to the absence form in the Marching Band Google classroom and fill it out.

Important for all practices:
Don't wear your Red Parade shirt, or Viper Marching Shoes until directed by Mr. Palmer. Both will wear out before competition season if used continuously for practice.
Also always Bring-
Sunscreen
Bug spray
Antiperspirant/Deodorant
Snacks as practices get longer
Plenty of water!
A question raised at the Parent Meeting:
What are expectations for the band members and props/instruments?
Mr. Palmer laid out expectations at the start of the season at kick off night that practice starts at the call time (instruments ready, band member ready to go). They will also practice right up until the end of practice time (for example, practice end time listed at 9PM, will end at 9PM). However, it is expected that not only will your student be expected to pack up their instrument and leave, but, they are expected EVERY TIME to help with the other larger instruments and props. This will mean your student will not be out to your car ready to leave at the listed practice time. If the whole band helps, the faster they will leave!

If you take any pictures of the band and band events, please upload them to our Google drive! We use them at the banquet at the end of the season (November 10th), as well as we put together a Marching Band yearbook at the end of the season. Here is the link:
If you are willing to donate items directly to the band, we appreciate them all. We need gallon and cases of water bottles, snacks and some various items. We are including an Amazon Wish list below- if you would like to use it, great, but it doesn't need to be from the list.
