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!

There was this one time...at band camp...

Band Camp

The last week of July and the first week of August are dates to keep in mind because of band camp. Band camp gives students the opportunity to get a head-start on marching season as well as preparing for the Interstate Rodeo Parade. The key dates to remember are:

Percussion Clinic: July 31 to August 3 10:00am to 3:00 pm

Freshman Marching Fundamentals: August 2-3 8:00 am to 9:30 am

Band Camp: August 6 to August 10 8:00 am to 12:30 pm

Please note the change in times for band camp. Since the rodeo parade has been cancelled our last minute preparation for the parade isn't necessary.

Uniform checkout: Seniors and Juniors will check out band uniforms Monday evening (August 6) at 6:00 pm. Sophomores will check out uniforms Tuesday evening (August 7) at 6:00 pm. Freshmen will check out uniforms Wednesday evening (August 8) at 6:00 pm. A special note to Freshmen: checking out uniforms for the first time is very time consuming. Each of you has to be fitted to a uniform which means some trial and error. Please be prepared to spend some time waiting your turn. We do this as quickly as possible, but, it still takes time.

All need to remember the $7.00 uniform cleaning fee is due when you check out your uniform

It's not as bad as this suggests...

Progress in picking show music is complete. The show will be funk tunes from the 70's and 80's. Mp3 downloads will be available here as soon as the person making this blog figures out how to do it. Hello? Mrs.O, the computer illiterate, I'm speaking to you!
