Hopefully everyone got the message in time that marching band rehearsal after school today was canceled. What we really need this week is some time to work out some visual kinks in the field show - that wasn't going to happen today in the rain/snow/cold. So... Thursday (weather will be accommodating) we will be outside from 3-5. We will fix a few holes in a few spaces, we will add some visuals to the 86 count stand still in Finale, and we will rehearse the guard transition spots over and over until they're clean.
Thursday you will ALSO pick up your Pasta Sale orders at the end of rehearsal.
If you were listening to Mrs. Snyder's announcement at the end of the day you may be wondering... Pep Rally on Friday???
The answer is YES.
At present the plan is to have a pre-game pep rally starting at 5:30 on our practice field after which we will lead the students and faculty in a parade into the stadium (so we should probably have a rippin cadence going on). Then I guess the plan is for senior recognition to start at 6:20 and us to take the field to perform at 6:50. We'll play Thriller and the SSB / Alma Mater. Then get in the stands before kick off.
If you don't have your Senior Rec' papers in to me yet... You need to! Tomorrow! Thursday morning in my mail box at the latest.
Also.... District Band applications and fees are due Tomorrow
County Band applications can be picked up in the band room on Friday, they're Due Nov' 10.
Wednesday night I'll have details about Hershey on the 8th
See you Thursday.

Dear Owner of Lime Green Samsung MP3 Device,
Your Player has been liberated from it's resting place on the bari sax from which it was more likely to grow it's own lime green legs and prance away. You can reclaim your property before departing for Bristol Borough on Friday.
Yours Truly

What happened to our updates?!?!?!?!?
Friends-
my laptop has apparently died, rendering me computerless away from school for the temporary future; because i have zero down/free/prep time at school during regular or extra curricular hours... internetting has become a scarce commodity: I will attempt to get some updated done to the web page and here on the b&log tomorrow.
PS - I've got tickets (cheap) for a certain band show at Conrad Weiser this month.... See me in the usual space with the usual amount
that is all
