Hello All,
And welcome to competition season for marching band!! The next THREE weeks are the busiest 3 weeks of marching season with major performances each Saturday. We begin with our own Blackwater Classic Marching Band Festival this Saturday. Then move on with the FBA marching music performance assessment at Ft. Walton Beach High School next Saturday. After that, we go to Gulf Breeze High School on a Tuesday Night to simply perform for all of our peers from all of the high schools in Santa Rosa County. Finally, that same week on the third Saturday, we close out competition season performing twice at the Emerald Coast Classic Competition at Choctawhatchee High School. It is highly important that you keep an eye on the charms calendar this week as we have a few added rehearsals as well as itineraries for each day. All rehearsals are vital to attend as we will be adding and fixing as needed. We can't do this when students are missing. Please keep healthy!
Thank you so much to everyone whose has signed up to volunteer so far for our first Blackwater Classic Marching Band Festival!! There are still a few spots that need to be filled. Please continue to sign up by clicking HERE. We will have a volunteers meeting at then end of rehearsal on Thursday at 6:30 this week. Please make plans to be there as we will go over all of the ins and outs of your responsibilities. Students will have a sign up this week for items wee need you to do. We Also need help in the concession stand for that day. Please sign up for concessions by clicking HERE.
All leadership and Symphonic Band, you will be performing our National Anthem to start the festival this Saturday. We will rehearse this in class. We will also choose which additional percussion we need.
This Tuesday at 5:30 we will take group/section pictures. Please clean your uniforms and bring everything in for this picture. We will meet in the band room first and line up, then head to the stadium. After we finish, you will have time to change and begin rehearsal.
Parent shirts are in! If you have already paid for your shirts, I will send them home with the student. We can give you your shirts upon payment at the end of each rehearsal this week.
Finally, we will be at Gulf Breeze High school this Friday. The itinerary is below. If you would like to chaperone for this game, please sign up by clicking HERE.
