Dear Warrior Band Parents,

This semester is blowing by! First of all, I want to thank all my parents who have been actively helping all semester with hydration, pregame meals, pulling the trailer, pit crew, cooking for band night, serving at band night, helping with supervision before games, baking delicious cookies, costumes for competition, purchasing props for us, redoing the band boards for band night and open house, trailer dad’s, etc. We couldn’t do it without you!

Now, an update on our progress. First of all, most of you know this is as much as a rebuilding year as we have seen in a very long time. We graduated 18 seniors last year, many of whom were all-parish, all-district, and all-state musicians. It’s been a bit of a grind this semester but I can say we have finally “turned the corner.” I began seeing it a couple weeks ago with our performances on the field and at the football games. Then we earned a superior rating last week at the Dutchtown Invitational. Last night, the Jazz Ensemble gave an inspiring performance. We still have a lot of work to do!

Our next performance will be our Christmas Concert on December 2nd at 2 PM. We will have 3 MANDATORY rehearsals for this. Please mark your calendars for November 13, 27, and 29. These reahearsals will begin at 2:45 and will end at 4:30. For the next two weeks, I will give the kids a break and we will only rehearse on the Thursday before each game from 3 – 3:45. Please pick your child up by 4 PM.

I’m looking forward to a fantastic year.

 

Doc
