Just a reminder... It's almost time for Honors Wind! See below for more details.
- HOMECOMING: Homecoming Is coming up this week! The band will perform at the pep assembly today (call-time is 1:30pm), and the parade on Thursday. You should know that the band has picked the homecoming queen more times than not. Who are you picking?!
- TUESDAY'S REHEARSAL: Kali & friends will teach visuals from 7-8am. At 8am, we will work on sets 22A-34A.

- FRIDAY'S REHEARSAL: No rehearsal.
- PICTURE DAY: Tuesday, October 12th Is picture day! Mrs. Pampe has graciously offered to take the official 2021 Marching Tigers pictures. Those will take place at 7am on the 12th. Please wear your department shirt, shorts, black crew socks, and your marching band shoes between 7-9am. Colorguard, I know 7-8am is normally your day off (as a way to compensate you for your evening rehearsal); however, we need you to report at 7am in your full colorguard garb and one show silk.
- MARCHING BAND UNIFORMS: The new uniforms will be ready for pickup on Thursday. You will have new uniforms to wear for Effingham!
- TRI-M & BEGINNING BAND: I have started a beginning band at the 7th grade. We also have two 8th grade beginning band students. Because I only see them 2-3 times a week, over a 30-,minute lesson, I would like to create YouTube videos to which they may practice at home. TRI-M, I will contact a number of you about making a short video this week.
- ILMEA MUSIC CUTS: SENIOR WINDS & SENIOR JAZZ
- LMEA AUDITIONS: For those of you taking lessons with me, you may find the schedule HERE. Evan & Madison, please see me regarding ILMEA lessons. AUDITION VIDEOS ARE DUE THIS WEEK. THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, AT 11:59 PM.
- RCHS vs. PARIS & BAND ALUMNI NIGHT: Click HERE for more details.
- EFFINGHAM MARCHING HEARTS INVITATIONAL: Click HERE for the itinerary.

- SENIOR SONG: Seniors, start thinking ahead to what you would like to play. Please meet with Kali regarding the selections. I need to know this week. Meet with Kali. Kali needs to give me a song by Friday.
- 2022 MARCHING TIGERS LEADERSHIP APPLICATION: Click HERE to fill out the form If you are Interested In any of the following positions: FIELD CONDUCTOR, CAPTAIN, or SECTION LEADER.
- 2021-22 HONORS WIND ENSEMBLE: It's almost time! If you are interested in auditioning for the Honors Wind, please click HERE and fill out the following form. The Honor Wind Ensemble is the premiere instrumental ensemble at RCHS. This advanced level class is by audition only, and is designed to challenge the most experienced and talented musicians with RCHS.
- NOBLE FREEDOM FESTIVAL PARADE: I know this is a long way off, but I wanted to get a sense of who in the Marching Tigers might be available on July 2nd. The Noble Lions Club will host a parade and festival for the Noble Freedom Festival Parade. Who might be available? You would earn 3 hours of personal time for the 2022-23 school year, and likely free food and drinks! Filling out the survey does not commit you to the date. It just gives me an idea who might be available. Click HERE for your availability.
- BUS ASSIGNMENTS: This chart will be used for 9/25, 10/2, & 10/16. We have been assigned a truck instead of a van for 10/2. On this day, many of the adults that would travel on the van will travel on the buses instead. Click HERE to view your bus assignment, or scroll to the bottom of this post.
- RCHS BANDS REPRESENTATION / STUDENT COUNSEL: Kali Hinterscher, Dacota Anderson-Krome & Evey Mason for the Marching Tigers. Kyle Rennier for the Jazz Band.
- PERSONAL DAYS: Many of you performed at the 2021 Memorial Day Ceremony In Olney. Because that was not a grade, (it was in the summer) I awarded each of you 3.0 hours of personal time. You may use this personal time for any rehearsal. You may not use this time for performances, however. Click HERE to view your available personal time.
