Dear Parents and Students,

Didn’t the band look great tonight? I hope you got to see them.

I also just realized that I have not mentioned anything about last weekend. Our band was awesome – both nights! Congratulations!

Many thanks to the many chaperones, equipment help and truck drivers. Some were there both nights. I am still sleepy. We could not have done it without you!

Because of fall break, we will move our Band Booster meeting to Thursday, October 2 at 7:00 in the band room. The highlights will be information on the Stadium Event on October 21st and pecan sales. Hope to see you there!

Mom comment of the night: the kids do not have to wear jerseys to school tomorrow.

Hope to see you tomorrow night!

Just a few reminders for this week:

– NO JAZZ BAND TODAY!
-Rehearsal for homecoming is tomorrow (THURSDAY) afternoon from 3:45-4:15pm (the less talking there is, the shorter it will be).
– Jerseys and jeans for the parade.
– Be ready to go in dirt cheap parking lot at 4:50pm for line-up (YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING YOURSELF THERE- WE WILL NOT TAKE BUSES TO THE PARADE).
– The parade will end at the stadium so you can be picked up from there.
– Regular game schedule for Friday.

Stuff from John:

– Please watch these two clips. We have been talking a lot about playing in tune and how that affects how loud we appear to be. Once we can achieve good intonation, then we will most certainly achieve appropriate volume levels, both in the competition show and the football show.
