Daily Announcement for 9/1/21

Folks, I am sorry for missing yesterday's daily announcement. Here is what you would have gotten:

1. SATURDAY'S REHEARSAL: Just a reminder that if you work hard this week, I may be inclined to cancel Saturday's rehearsal. That being said, if I am giving up 2.5 hours of work, you need to earn it! Work hard. Practice hard. If you see someone messing around, remind them of this deal.
2. 2ND MVT. MEMORIZATION CHECK: For those that did not pass the memorization test, you have another opportunity to pass! Tomorrow, while the band works on stand tunes from 7-7:45, I will pull you aside by sections. Make sure you are ready! The tune is This Is Me. At 7:45 we need to move the props to the practice field. 
3. SET MARKINGS IN THE 3RD MVT: Didn't pass this assignment on Tuesday? You have another chance tomorrow. 
4. 3RD MVT. MEMORIZATION CHECK: Be ready to perform Never Enough / From Now On from memory next week. Testing starts Tuesday (9/7).
5. FOOTBALL GAME: The home game against Lawrenceville is this Friday. The call-time is 5:15pm (Not 5:30, Mr. Jones!). We will be in full uniform for this performance. Please check now to ensure that you have black-crew socks and your department shirt, shorts, and marching band shoes. While we are in the stands, we will take off the shako (hat), and our jackets.
6. JAZZ BAND: The Marching Tigers is not the only band in session this quarter! The Jazz Band has started up during OTE. We are in need of more trumpets, trombones, and a drumset player. We also need a pianist. If you are interested, we would love to have you! We are playing The "S" Is Silent, Front Burner, & Groovin Hard, to name a few.
7. SENIOR SONG: Seniors, start thinking ahead to what you would like to play.
8. MCKENDREE UNIVERSITY SMALL MARCHING BAND CHAMPIONSHIP: Unfortunately, this competition has been cancelled for the 2021 season. I know this was many of your favorite competition; however, think of it this way. You will have a weekend off!
