The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. - Vince Lombardi

Overall, we had a good week. As we discussed in class, the focus and intent is present at rehearsals. Rarely did the staff have to address talking out-of-turn, or lack of focus. Thank you!

However, many of us are still coming up short on individual preparation. There have been noticeable improvements when the band performs Chopstix. That being said, some of you have not turned in your homework. Some of you are trying to fake your way through Chopstix and it is obvious. The audience will notice. The judges will notice. The good news is that there is still time!

Take the time tonight to make sure you have done your homework. Let's put on three good performances tomorrow!

As Mr. Vaal said this morning, we need everyone "ALL IN!"

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." --Helen Keller

We had issues at today's rehearsal. While we made progress today, the band was chatty and at times lacked focus. It was also apparent that only a small number of students took the time to take care of this week's homework. If you recall, the homework was for students to memorize the entire show. This assignment was clearly stated several days ago.

Most of you do not have Chopstix memorized. There are even some of you that don't have part, or all, of Ludwig & Wolfgang, Knuckle Concerto, or Claire de Lune memorized.

You have to remember, this is a team sport. We need everyone doing their part for us to be successful. Please take care of business tonight. EVERYBODY - ALL THE TIME.

RCHS BANDS ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Forecast is mostly clear with a high of 59 degrees by 9 am tomorrow morning. It is getting colder!
If you are interested in auditioning for the 2019-2020 HONORS WIND ENSEMBLE, please send me a message on Remind101.

It is imperative that everyone practice tonight after school! Pay particular attention to Chopstix. We simply do not have the time to work on memorization in class. Learning and memorizing music is the student's responsibility. Rehearsals are for learning how your part fits into the composition, unifying the stylistic approach to the music, and how we move on the field.
Missing Chopstix homework from Tara Adkins, Evelyn Bogard, Adrian Bower, Alyssa Bryant, Sierra Bryant, Genesis Cadwell, Keara Christopher, Rylan Craig, Josephine Donaldson, Tyler Dowty, Ryan Drummond, Paige Elder, William Fritchley, Colby Garrard, Tessa Hemrich, Arianna Henby, Ashton Hernandez, Madison Hinderliter, Kali Hinterscher, Ben Hout, Evan Irvin, Braeden Jackson, Danielle Jinkins, Alex Keys, Brendan Kirkland, Taylor Klingler, Madison Lee, Chloe McKinney, Ana Mata Perez, Maddi McKinney, Max McVicker, Natalia Mendoza, Brittany Myers, Cassara Randall, Langston Richardson, Gabriel Rodriguez, Will Roth, Bradley Sample, Logan Seessengood, Anna Shultz, Colleen Steber, Connor Summers, Jillian Tyler, Olivia Tyler, Hannah Weston, Izzy Williams, & Victoria Zwilling. (I have entered the Chopstix homework into the gradebook. Turn in your assignment before 11:59 pm today so that you only lose 10% for submitting late. You may submit the assignment anytime this week; however, 10% is deducted for each calendar day that it is late. You are more than welcome to record during lunch or after school. I am at the school until 8 pm today)
Many of you now have a D or an F in marching band because of assignments that have not yet been turned-in. Please do so, ASAP. If you feel there has been a mistake, you are more than welcome to send me a message. If not, submit the assignment ASAP for credit.

Sets 0-41 at this weekend's competition. You set the pace of how far we get on the 4th movement!
4th movement homework may be turned in late; however, points will be deducted for late submission.
Unpaid student debt to RCHS Bands went from $3,600.68 to $2,803.52 this week.

The challenge from the staff to the students, treat every minute this week as critical to meeting our objectives. Push all distractions aside. The expectation this week is that everyone will work to have the music & guard work for Ludwig & Wolfgang, Knuckle Concerto, Claire de Lune, & Chopstix completely memorized. This will require time after school either at home or in the rehearsal hall to accomplish our goal.

We simply do not have the time to memorize all the work in class. Band, the music needs to be 100% memorized before 7 am on Wednesday. Same goes for Guard. Please utilize the materials under Google Classroom to help you.

If everyone memorizes the music on their own, that will go a long way in helping us prepare the show!

Remember. EVERYBODY - ALL THE TIME!
