We resume rehearsals tomorrow (Tuesday)! Please block up in a parade formation in the circle drive at 7am. You may find a diagram of the parade block below.
I recommend arriving no later than 6:45-6:50 this week so that you have enough time to get your instrument, coordinates, drill charts, pencil, and your show music. If you have not memorized the warm-ups, please bring your Inside the Circle and Foundations for Superior Performance books as well. Just a reminder that I am checking your sheet music to This Is Me to determine whether you have marked in your sets into the music. This will be an assignment.
From 7-8am tomorrow and Thursday we are working on music only. Since the color guard rehearses from 6-8pm Tuesday night, that section won't report to rehearsal until 8am on Tuesday and Thursday. Woodwinds, brass, and percussion, however, all report at 7am. Color guard, please remember that the 6-8pm rehearsal is a graded event based on your in-class work.
For those of you that hitch a ride with a family member to school, your drop-off point is the circle drive. You may enter through the band room door. For those of you that drive, you will park in the student (south) parking lot (assuming you have a parking pass) and enter through the south doors. The doors will unlock sometime between 6:40-6:45 am.
If you were absent on Saturday, see your section leader for coordinates. However, I want you to practice movements 13A through 22A tonight on your own. You may find your coordinates at https://www.rchsbands.net/show-music--drill.html At the very least, you need to know how many counts are in each set, and in what direction you move. If you do this, you should be able to learn the drill to the second movement easier, and it won't feel so frantic.
Get some rest. I will see you all tomorrow!
