Extra 7:15 am Rehearsals and Windsor Place Performance

There will be 7:15 am rehearsals September 25 and September 27 to prepare Stick Schtick for the Homecoming game. Students are reminded to bring the necessary equipment for performing Stick Schtick to rehearsal.
A reminder: The band will be performing at Windsor Place Thursday evening, September 27 for a Homecoming pep assembly. The assembly starts at 6:00 pm and band students need to be ready to play at 5:45 pm. The assembly will last approximately half an hour. Dress will be: Band shirt and blue jeans.
Friday's Homecoming game will be in full uniform including gloves. Students are reminded to pick up their uniforms in the band room Wednesday after school.

Early Morning Rehearsals

Early morning (7:00am) rehearsals will begin September 11th and continue every Gold day until further notice. All students are expected to attend early morning practice. Extra rehearsal time is absolutely necessary for you to learn the field show by October 27. With the block scheduling and not meeting daily, there is not enough time to learn the field show before the Neewollah Field Show Competition. So, set your alarm clocks a bit earlier, grab your coffee mug, orange juice, or whatever, and we'll see you on the field at 7:00 am September 11.

Listen to the Music!

David Northup was kind enough to put your field show music on youtube. You can either go to youtube and search for "nadoband" or you can use the links for the tunes right here. These mp3 recordings are available for you to download for practice at home. Practicing at home is highly encouraged around here.

All the pictures on this blog...

A very special thank you goes to Steve Eck for all the pictures you see on this page. Steve took tons of terrific pictures for me to post on my page in the cvilleschools.com website. Unfortunately, editing problems prevented me from uploading any of them. Now, with the creation of this blog, there is a place to showcase some of Steve's excellent photography skills.
Hopefully, Steve will continue to take pictures again this year for us to see here! Thanks, Steve!
