REHEARSAL SCHEDULE FOR THE 2020 SEASON

REHEARSAL SCHEDULE FOR THE 2020 SEASON

We are days away from the start of the fall semester at RCHS! As you are all aware, there are changes due to the pandemic and construction of the high school. The biggest change is to our rehearsal schedule and our performance schedule. For the performance schedule, please visit https://www.rchsbands.net/2020-2021-calendar.html.

The Marching Tigers have done a great job following the procedures set during camp by the COVID-19 Risk Mitigation Plan for the Marching Tigers. It is now just part of our daily routine. We will continue to follow the Risk Mitigation Plan once the school year starts.We have also purchased bell covers for brass, lip plate covers for flutes, and masks.

Our schedule for the year has been substantially paired back. The band has been broken down into two groups (1A & 1B). Each group will meet on the practice field (either Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays). The days a group doesn't report to the practice field will be designated remote learning days. The focus on remote learning days are music, cadences, guard work, and visuals. For example, 1A meets on the field on Monday and Wednesday from 8:10-9:18am. 1A's remote days are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Neither 1A or 1B will meet during early bird this season.

The full marching band will meet on three Saturdays, which are listed below. Two of those Saturdays we will have a visit from university directors. The third Saturday we record ourselves and we will send the recording to the Cavaliers for feedback from world renowned drum and bugle corps instructors. Please take a moment to review your schedule below:


GROUP 1A (Color Guard, Brass, Baritone Saxophones, & Drumline):
  • Mondays & Wednesdays during 1st period
  • Saturdays (September 5th, 12th, and October 17th) from 8:50am-12:20pm.  
  • Additional color guard practice on Thursdays from 6:00-8:00pm
  • Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Fridays are remote learning with focus on individual preparation over Inside the Circle, music, cadences, and guard work.

GROUP 1B (Woodwinds, & Front Ensemble):
  • Tuesdays & Thursdays during 1st period
  • Saturdays (September 5th, 12th, and October 17th) from 8:50am-12:20pm.  
  • Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays are remote learning with focus on individual preparation over Inside the Circle, music, cadences, and guard work.

Unfortunately, Mr. Jones is unable to join us the first few weeks of the term. He is recovering from thyroid cancer and he requires physical therapy. He hopes to join you sometime late September. In the interim, the band is in good hands with Mrs. Deimel, Mr. Vaal, & Mr. Tucker. Mr. Brickner may also be able to stop by from time-to-time.

I know there is a lot to digest here! Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Just remember that this is just one season, and there is still a lot to be had!
