News and Updates for August 23rd!
/Welcome back to school everyone! Now we start our regular rehearsal schedule: Mon--2:30-3:30; Tues.--2:30 - 5:15; Wed.--5:30 - 8:30; Thur--2:30 - 5:15; Fri.--2:30 - 5:15. This is the general schedule until November when rehearsals end. As is the nature of multiple people trying to run a calendar. . . .things will pop up and change. Communicate with your student and read our emails. They are meant to convey information.
Color Guard also has practice Mon: 6:00-8:00PM
THIS JUST IN: Parkway South Spirit Night has been moved to Thursday, Sept. 2, in line with our 1st home football game.
As of right now, here is the current schedule:
Monday, Aug. 23--Spirit of 76 Rehearsal 2:30-3:30 in the band room. Please make every effort to get your student a ride at 3:30. Leaders should be checking with their sections to make sure everyone can get home. We will try this schedule for a couple of weeks to see if it will work now that there is no 3:30 activity bus. I will be staying until 5:30 in case students cannot get a ride, but I ask you to be respectful of my time, as I am trying to be of yours, and help your student find a ride. If this schedule just doesn't work, we will revisit the schedule.
Tuesday, Aug. 24--Spirit of 76 rehearsal 2:30 - 5:15. Plan to go outside. Mr. Wall and I keep a close look at the Wet Bulb Index, but always plan to go outside. There is a 5:30 activity bus available for students who do not have rides.
Wednesday, Aug. 25--Spirit of 76 rehearsal 5:30 - 8:30 pm. This is our night to use the varsity football field. Sometimes we do have to work around MSHSAA sports, but plan to be on the field.
Thursday, Aug. 26--Spirit of '76 rehearsal 2:30 - 5:15.
Friday, Aug. 27--Spirit of '76 rehearsal 2:30 - 5:15
Monday, Aug. 30--Spirit of '76 Rehearsal 2:30 - 3:30
Tuesday, Aug. 31--Spirit of '76 Rehearsal 2:30 - 5:15

Thursday, Sept. 2--Spirit Night/Home Football Game (details when I get them)--plan to wear uniforms unless the weather is too hot, then we'll go with Pep Band tshirts and some sort of shorts or pants on the bottom (not looking for the kids to have to go shopping)
