DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR YOUR CLASS OFFICERS!
THURSDAY, AUGUST 26TH:
Tomorrow's schedule, Kali will rehearse the band on the tennis courts while Mr. Jones pulls students aside to check for memorization over the 2nd movement (This Is Me) from 7-7:45am. Sarah will pass out copies of the stand tunes. At some point before the game, each student will need to cut out A (Stadium Jams Vol.2), E (Get Into the Game! Cheer Pack), G (ERHS Time Out Tunes), #1 (Star Spangled Banner), & #2 (On Wisconsin), and insert the sheet music into your flip folder. The flip folders will only be used when we are in the bleachers during the game.
Please keep the rest of your sheet music that has not been inserted into your flip folder. We will add more of those tunes to the flip folder at a later date. So that music isn't flying around the field, please use the basketball binders for the 7am rehearsal. Those binders need to be returned to the music cabinet at the end of the rehearsal. The copies of the music are yours to use in the flip folders, and to practice at home. The binders do not leave the campus.
At 7:45-7:50am, we will move the props onto the field. We will likely practice on the stadium field. I will have a definitive answer tomorrow. The color guard will join us at 8am, at which point we will run The Greatest Showman and This Is Me with drill (from memory) several times with props.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 27TH:
Ladies and gents, we are in a heat advisory for the next few days. I have decided it is too hot to wear the marching band uniforms for the first game. Instead, the uniform will be what you see in the picture above. And by the picture above, I mean the department shirt, department shorts, black-crew socks, and your Drillmasters or Crossover shoes.
Friday is the first home football game of the season. The Home Football Game is against Casey-Westfield. The call-time for all RCHS Marching Tigers is 5:15pm in the summer uniform. For more a more detailed itinerary, click on the blue link above.
As you can see below, Friday morning and afternoon will be a packed full of activities and testing. Because of this, the 7am rehearsal has been cancelled! At 8am, you will report to OTA, not to band. The band will not meet as a group that day until 1pm. We are the musical entertainment for TigerFest.

----------------------------------------------------------------
For the rest of the morning, Freshman and Senior OTE classes can run however the advisor sees fit. Here are some ideas for advisors for ways to break up the day:
RCHS will dismiss for lunch at 12:15, students will return at 1:00 and report to OTA to get ready for the fire drill at 1:10. Students enrolled in the marching band will report to the music commons at 1:00 to prepare for the pep assembly.
Tiger Fest
1:10 Students report to OTA for attendance. Again, students enrolled in the marching band will report to the music commons at 1:00 to prepare for the pep assembly. After attendance, we will have a fire drill and exit to the bleachers and quickly check attendance again. After some brief instructions, we will ask the band to lead us in the school song.
Approx 1:30-2:30, students will participate in Tiger Fest activities designed by each of our departments. The culture team will be sending out a spreadsheet early in the week to sign up for locations. Departments will need to specify inside or outside locations. Also, we will be in need of some pop up tents. Please let me know if you can bring one.
2:30-2:50: Pep Assembly on the football field
2:50: Release students for the day: This should give bus riders time to catch their buses at 2:55.
Tiger Tailgate 5:00-7:00 (band students report to the band room at 5:15pm)
We will be hosting the Tiger Tailgate from 5:00-7:00 on the practice football field. We are providing a DJ and will allow students to park to form a tailgate perimeter. We hope that clubs, organizations, and sports teams will show up to grill, throw bags, etc. and just have a good time. I will be sending a sign-up sheet, on Monday, asking teachers to help with parking and supervision. I would like to have about 4 people each hour.
7:00 Football Kickoff and I hope that you will come and enjoy the football game atmosphere. It is always great for our students to see their teachers and staff supporting them outside of school hours.
