All,
First off, congratulations on a Superior performance at the Buckeye Invitational. The band performed well and were very well-behaved in the stands. Thank you for that. It makes our jobs much easier when the kids are being awesome. We have a tremendously long yet rewarding weekend ahead of us. We will travel to Reynoldsburg for the last regular season game then head to two different marching band contests on Saturday for a "Double-Header" day. Uniforms It is very important that students are take extra caution to keep their uniforms nice and clean over the next 3 performances. We do not want any accidents. As the weather turns hot chocolate might seem like a good idea during our 3rd quarter breaks but it truly isn't worth the risk! Friday is our full Purple Uniforms and Saturday is all white! Be sure to bring your garment bag for protecting your uniform on the bus from any dirt and grime when not in uniform Saturday. Friday Timeline 3:10 - Dress rehearsal with seniors. 4:10 - Load/Change/Eat 5:45 - Depart for Reynoldsburg 6:15 - Arrive 7:00 - Kick off 10:00 - Return to PHSC (No unloading, go sleep!) Saturday Shows info / Ticket Information for Parents and spectators / General Comments For students this will obviously be a long day. Encourage them to bring weather-appropriate clothing when not in uniform and cash for concessions. The Boosters will provide a tailgate style meal after the first show at Blendon Woods, Blendon Woods Metro Park. 4265 E Dublin Granville Rd. Columbus OH. Field Commanders will be left at Newark to collect any awards and judges sheets. We will get them back to the cookout at the conclusion of the Newark awards.
