Play-off game #1 and SMBF

All,

This past weekend was a simply fantastic.  The weather, the performances, the behavior, everyone did a fantastic job.  We are very lucky to have such great students and boosters that make days like Saturday possible.  Thank you's aren't nearly enough but I'm eternally grateful and thankful for the efforts of our parents and boosters!

Playoff game #1
This will be our last performance of the halftime show at football games.  If we win and have a second home game we will get into doing show band activities. 

Uniform
The band will wear their hats and purple pants with gloves on Friday.  (don't forget black socks)

Friday Timeline
3:10 - Dress rehearsal 
4:10 - Dismiss/load/eat
5:45 - Meet at Ridgeview lot/warm-up
6:20 - Parade from Ridgeview lot to stadium
6:50 - Pregame
7:00 - Kickoff 

Parent Pick-up
As weather gets colder it is imperative that parents are communicating with their children at the end of games and contests to be picked up.  I will not allow my staff or myself to stay inside the building with single individuals, nor will we put them in our vehicles to transport them home for you.  You may notice that when kids are left behind I ask them to exit the building and wait on the hill for pick-up.  I will watch over them from a distance in my enclosed car.  This is fine in the early fall when it is warm, but as temps drop parents need to be more concerned with picking-up in a timely fashion. 

State Contest
This Saturday is the final Contest of the year.  Not all bands earn the privilege of going to State Marching Band Finals.  We have earned the extra special privilege of being the last band to perform on Saturday night at 10:30pm.  The Marching Tigers are one of many bands  Specific information regarding state contest sites, prices and parking can be found here:
