First officially official Remarks on Rehearsal post:

Monday's Guard & Percussion:

Girls - guard rehearsals will be a lot more productive in the future, my fault... hopefully everyone's nearly together with work for fanfare through episode 1. the band proper is half way finished with putting music to episode 2 so we need to get the work written/learned for that. rifles; i'd like to see your episode 1 work finishedish soon for approval - remember - less is more

Perc' - i didn't talk to anyone after rehearsal and Mr. Noyalas and i haven't spoken... hopefully you were on task and can play the first three songs.

Tuesday's Winds:

Folks - you know i hate to be the mean band director but you've got to work with me here... you can't deny that if we keep putting forth the effort i saw from those of you in attendance for all of this afternoon's rehearsal we won't have a very clean/entertaining show to perform. i am content to have made it half way through episode 2 adding music set by set, but it's never going to come together if individuals don't step up to the plate and learn their parts on their own time. you know who you are, and so do the poor folks who've got the music memorized and are hitting their sets.

For Thursday:

Winds in a basics block at 3pm stretching/marching
Guard on the front sideline at 3pm stretching/spinning
Percussion on the field at 3:15pm

Goals - finish putting music to episode 2, run/clean opener - episode 2

Expectations - everyone in attendance, everyone giving 110% effort, have your music, have your set books and/or drill charts, know where you belong, know what you're playing... take some individual responsibility and pride in what we're trying to accomplish here together

Evening Performance - meet the team is at 7pm, we're playing on the field and in the stands in uniform - make sure you've got black socks and your Drill Masters
