SATURDAY PRACTICE: Based on the feedback from all of you (minus the juniors) we have an impromptu rehearsal tomorrow morning from 7:00-8:00 in the stadium. The reason for this addition is so that we can clean the third movement prior to our performance at EIU. For those able to attend tomorrow's 7 a.m. rehearsal, I will dismiss you after our half-time performance tonight so that you are well rested for tomorrow. Those not able to attend the 7 a.m. rehearsal will stay behind until the game is complete. We will do a compilation of playing in the stands, and packing for the next day. Please fill out the following survey on your availability for the 7 a.m. rehearsal tomorrow morning by clicking HERE.

MOVE THE FINAL PERFORMANCE? Would anyone have a conflict if I move the Final Performance to Saturday, October 14th? If so, what times would you be unavailable? I am considering moving the performance because we wouldn't have a rehearsal for four days leading up to the Final Performance. Also, we would have short rehearsals on October 12th and 13th to accomodate final exams.

Carmel tonight. The theme is orange out. Kick off is slated for 7:00 PM, our Tiger Cross Country teams will be on the road to Terre Haute, and our Marching Tigers will be competing at Eastern Illinois University tomorrow.
Here’s a thought for today - Speak the truth to the lies. Just because you have a negative thought doesn’t mean you have to believe it. The key to winning the battle in your mind is to see negative thoughts for what they are - lies. Weed out the negative and feed the positive by by speaking truth to the lies.

Have a great day today. You are in control of your actions, do what’s right - make today 1% better than yesterday, and remember everyday is a great day when you are an Olney Tiger!!

Here are your words of wisdom for this Wednesday: I want to start you with a quote from famous author Richard Bach “Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.”

You can choose to see the curse of a problem or the gift that could result from the problem. And this one choice will determine if your life is a success story or one big soap opera. Choose to see the gift today (and every day).

Have a great day today. You are in control of your actions, do what’s right - make today 1% better than yesterday, and remember everyday is a great day when you are an Olney Tiger!!

Immediately after the 11:20 a.m. bell, please go straight to the music commons to collect your instrument and music, so that you may practice tonight. Nine RCHS Bands students and I depart for Charleston, IL today at 11:30 a.m., which is why the doors lock at that time.
LOOKING FORWARD: Friday's and Saturday's rehearsals, we shall focus on marching, and playing, the first three movements (I Dreamed a Dream, Dream On, and The Nightmare Before Christmas). We will discuss how to get on and off the field at Robinson. So that we may be as successful as possible, please look at the next bullet point. Everyone needs to be on the field Friday, including the front ensemble, starting at 7 a.m. Saturday, we are focusing solely on the drill, which means no instruments. Let's go into the end of the week strong, Marching Tigers!
WEDNESDAY NIGHT HOMEWORK: Please review your show music. You need to have I Dreamed a Dream, Dream On, and The Nightmare Before Christmas completely memorized. You should be close to memorizing all of Good Night, Sleep Tight!, if it isn't already memorized. On your own, go through (with a tuner) the following scales at home: E-flat, F (1st and 4th movements), and A-flat (3rd movement) major scales, as well as g harmonic minor (3rd movement)
TRUCK NEEDED: Would anyone be able and willing to bring a truck to Saturday morning's rehearsal? I would like to remove the limbs we cut down behind the tower, and take them to the burn brush. The burn brush opens at 10 a.m. If a parent is willing to help, even better!
2023 SAGE CITY JUDGES COMMENTS: The judges comments and the Effingham Red Regiment, Newton Marching Eagles, and our very own Richland County Marching Tigers may be found under Schoology.

OLNEY FALL FUN FESTIVAL: I regret to say that the RCHS Marching Tigers will not perform at the 2023 Olney Fall Fun Festival. Unfortunately, the band has been scheduled to perform at an earlier time at Eastern IL. University than we have in prior years. Due to this conflict, we are unable to perform at the Olney City Park event. The high school choir, however, will perform at 8:30 a.m., before we depart to Charleston. We simply could not fit a performance from the band and choir without the band being late to EIU.

3) Abundance flows into your life when gratitude flows out of your heart.

Have a great day today. You are in control of your actions, do what’s right - make today 1% better than yesterday, and remember everyday is a great day when you are an Olney Tiger!!

2023 MARCHING BAND COMPETITIONS: All performance schedules are in! See below for more details.
TOWER & FIELD: As everyone knows, tomorrow is a home varsity football game, which means we have to move the tower. I would also like to take the opportunity to paint the field. We are flipping the field so that the home sideline faces towards the retirement home. The plan is to move the tower and paint the field over OTE. Jazz Band will not rehearse tomorrow.
OLNEY FALL FUN FESTIVAL: I regret to say that the RCHS Marching Tigers will not perform at the 2023 Olney Fall Fun Festival. Unfortunately, the band has been scheduled to perform at an earlier time at Eastern IL. University than we have in prior years. Due to this conflict, we are unable to perform at the Olney City Park event. The high school choir, however, will perform at 8:30 a.m., before we depart to Charleston. We simply could not fit a performance from the band and choir without the band being late to EIU.

OLD ANNOUNCEMENTS:

INTONATION ON SCALES: Refine intonation tendencies over concert E-flat, F (1st and 4th movements), and A-flat (3rd movement) major scales, as well as g harmonic minor (3rd movement). It would benefit the band greatly if all winds would practice the scales with a tuner at home before rehearsals. The more in-tune we are, the better we will blend, and the louder we will sound.

- FACILITIES: Emma Wells, with help from Cory, Emma M., and Emily R.
- SUPPLY: Aidan Gomez, with help from Ethan M. and Callista

Tiger good luck wishes go out to OTN today and tomorrow. Tonight, our Tiger football squad will lock paws with Marshall. Kick off is at 7:00 PM. We have several events taking place tomorrow.

Our STRIPES character trait for this month is service. Famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger once said this of service: Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

Have a great day today. You are in control of your actions, do what’s right - make today 1% better than yesterday, and remember everyday is a great day when you are an Olney Tiger!!
