Student & Parent Announcements for 8/18/23

8/18/2023

0 Comments

 
Students, here is your RCHS Marching Tigers daily announcements for Friday, August 19th. I have also included the RCHS bulletin in the post. https://www.rchsbands.net/marching-tigers-daily-bulletins/daily-bulletin-for-81723

MEET THE TIGERS: Tonight's call-time is 5:15 pm for those needing clothing items from Mrs. Deimel, and 5:30 pm for everyone else. Please be in your seats, ready-to-go at 5:30 pm. You may find more details pertaining to tonight by visiting https://www.rchsbands.net/announcements--itineraries/2023-meet-the-tigers-nights-night.

SATURDAY REHEARSAL: Saturday's rehearsal (our second to last Saturday rehearsal!) is from 9:30am to noon. Please ensure that you bring everything that you need, including water and sun block.

SEASON REHEARSAL SCHEDULE: Just a reminder, for details pertaining to the RCHS Marching Tigers rehearsal schedule, visit https://www.rchsbands.net/2023-season-information.html.

UPCOMING PERFORMANCE: For details pertaining to the performance calendar, please visit https://www.rchsbands.net/2023-2024-calendar.html.

RCCU1 APP: I understand that a few parents do not have the ability to download the RCCU1 app. Don't worry! We won't leave you out of the loop! There is obviously a transition period as we switch over to a new communication tool. For those unable to download the RCCU1 app, I believe there is a way to receive email notifications. I hope to have more details for you soon. In the interim, I will continue to use both the RCCU1 app and Remind until all the bumps have been worked out.

As always, feel free to message me should you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

2023 Meet The Tigers Nights Night

8/16/2023

 
Picture
2023 MEET THE TIGERS NIGHT: The Marching Tigers will perform the Star Spangled Banner, School Song, and the first movement to the show this Friday at 6:30 PM in the RCHS stadium.

The call-time for all Marching Tigers is 5:30 PM in the rehearsal hall. Please eat a healthy dinner and drink plenty of water prior to the call-time.

The event host is the athletic department, and is intended to showcase members of the dance team, cheerleaders, fall teams, and the Marching Tigers.

The performance uniform for Meet the Tigers is the summer uniform (department shirt, department shorts, black crew socks, and Drillmaster shoes/Crossovers). Students, please do not wear the old show shirts or section shirts. Those of you that participate in a fall sport (football, cheer leading, dance, tennis...) will wear your sport/cheer uniforms instead of our summer uniform. I anticipate the band will be done by 7-7:30 PM at the latest.

Just a reminder that the RCHS Bands performance & events calendar may be found at https://www.rchsbands.net/2023-2024-calendar.html
