Play-offs Week 2 vs GMHS

Good Morning Marching Tiger Families, 

We are into week 2 of the playoffs!  After a successful competition season we are also in full swing converting to concert band.  You could call this portion of the fall "limbo" between marching and concert seasons.  This essentially means we are switching our focus from 100% marching band to 20% marching 80% concert band.   This will outwardly look like less involved halftime shows on Friday night.  


Uniform update
We will wear our purple uniforms and maintain the same expectations for uniforms inspection.  As a quick reminder, face paint is not allowed in uniform as it can stain the white portions of our uniform jackets.  Uniforms for week 3 as with any additional playoff game will be determined based upon the weather forecast in the weekly FYI.  

Additionally as the weather gets colder, we are still required to be in proper uniform.  No winter hats when on the field and no hoodies popping out the back of your uniform jackets.  Any blankets need to be preplaced in the band stand for the home games in advance as we will not get to the bleachers until after we march pregame. 

November 19 London Parent meeting
If you are traveling to London we will have our Final Parent Meeting virtually at 7pm on November 19th.  Please plan to come to the meeting as we will cover the travel plans, explain flight groups and protocols and more.  The final Chaperone Meeting is December 3rd at 7pm.  This is an organizational meeting for directors and chaperones.  Students and followers do not need to attend.
