2023 LIC Basektball Bands - LIC Basketball Tournament

1/12/2023

The 2023 LIC Basketball Band is scheduled for Saturday, January 21st at Richland County High School. Currently, we have 96 student-musicians between the two basketball bands. Should students in one band also wish to play with the other band, they are more than welcome! However, I must stress that the student or students must still perform at both of their assigned games.

Percussionists, please bring their own sticks. We have three drum set players per band (six total). These students will take turns performing over the course of the two games at which they are assigned to play.

The remaining percussionists may play mallets or auxiliary percussion, whichever they prefer. In fact, when not playing, drum set players are also welcome to play a mallet instrument or auxiliary percussion. Drum sets are provided.

Mr. Ritter from Casey-Westfield High School will provide folders for students the day of the event (A BIG THANK you to Mr. Ritter!). One quick note. Students need to leave the music at RCHS for directors to collect. There will be two students per music stand/music. Each of the folders has pep music as well as the school songs for each school. Music stands are provided by RCHS.

The date of the tournament is Saturday, January 21st. The event is held at Richland County High School. The address is 1200 E. Laurel St. Olney, IL. Rehearsal begins at 11:00 a.m. Please arrive at 10:30 or 10:40 a.m. RCHS students, please arrive at 10 a.m.

Rehearsal will last 90-minutes or less. We perform before the 1st game and during half-times and between games, alternating bands. We will have pizza between 4:00 and 4:30 p.m.

Buses and RCHS students should park in the parking lot North of the high school (between the stadium and the high school.. Students may be dropped off at the circle drive.
