Good morning to everyone. I wanted to get everyone up to date on changes to our marching band competition schedule in October. We received word from the band director at Choctawhatchee HS Sunday night stating that they are having to cancel their contest due to the low number of bands that signed up. This contest was scheduled for Saturday, October 16th and would have been our final competition of the marching season. This has left a hole in our schedule for October, where we usually attend a max of 3 marching competitions/festivals. As a reminder, the Blackwater Classic, our home festival, is Saturday, October 2nd and FBA marching MPA is Saturday, October 9th.
We used a survey to gain student input as to how the band would like to move forward with a different competition possibility. After looking at that survey and talking with the band staff, we have decided to attend the Pea River Classic at Elba HS in Elba, Alabama on Saturday, October 23rd. For those that were in the marching band in 2019, this is the same competition that we attended for the final festival performance. We realize there may be some potential for previously scheduled events, however, we ask that all efforts are made so that all hands are on deck for this final competition of the marching season. With our performance on that date, we will be extending the rehearsal on Thursday, October 21st to 4pm-7pm. Just another reminder as well that on Tuesday, October 19th, we will be performing for all of the other Santa Rosa County HS bands at Gulf Breeze HS for the Exhibition showoff. We will not have rehearsal on that night. We will have a detailed schedule for that day as soon as we can. If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you.
