8/26 Reminders

#1.  Monday starts our sectional days with WOODWINDS & PERCUSSION until 5:30pm.  Woodwind need to plan to be OUTSIDE during rehearsal.
 
#2.  ALL Students should GO HOME ON TUESDAYS if at all possible and return @ 6pm for rehearsal.  Students who stay are required to remain in the band room from 4-6. 
 
#3.  Our second home football game vs Forestview is THIS Friday, August 30th and is Full Band! 
 
#4.  WE NEED HELP FOR THE PANTHER P GAMES on August 29th & August 31st!  See CHARMS to sign-up!
 
#5.  We will be taking a “select” pep band to the South Point away game on Friday, September 6th to perform at the Patriotism Bowl at Pre-Game.  There will be an additional 10 spots open for additional students who would like to attend.  The list of students attending this game will be posted on Monday.
 
#6.  Please mark your calendars for September 13th & 14th.  We will be having a clinic at the stadium with our music & drill writer Tim Hinton on the 13th from 6-10 and the 14th from 9-1 and will be having a parent preview of MATADOR on the 14th @ 7pm!
 
#7. There are many students who are not current on their band fees.  At this point all students should have paid at least $325 of their band fees. The next band fee payment is due on September 15th!
 
#8.  Please be reminded that NO practice/performance is considered optional.  It is not appropriate to miss any rehearsal.  The allowed excused absences are listed in the handbook.  In the event that you cannot attend a rehearsal /performance it is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to inform Mr. Gulledge, Mrs. Loftis or Mr. Hall.  Students who have unexcused absences face the following consequences: grade reduction, detention, and even removal from the program.  We have no “bench” to pull from.  If you are absent the entire group suffers!
