THIS WEEK'S OBJECTIVES:
THURSDAY (8/15): Rehearse the Star-Spangled Banner, On Wisconsin, Los Dos Bandidos, and Wanted Dead or Alive from 7-8 a.m. Clean sets 1-15A on the field, with music. We may start learning 15A-17, as time allows.
Practice runs from 7:00-9:15 a.m. Winds and drumline meet at 7 a.m. in their assigned seats in the band room. We will work on music in the band room until 7:59 a.m. Our focus will be rehearsing Los Dos Bandidos, Wanted Dead or Alive, The Star-Spangled Banner, and On Wisconsin (our school song). Color guard, you will join us at 8 a.m. From 8:00-9:15, we work on putting both movements on the field (drill & music). We will march out in a modified parade block, which we will teach this day (pregame parade block).
Color guard, you normally have an additional practice Thursday from 6:00-8:00 p.m. with Ms. Bogard every week. To compensate you for the Thursday evening rehearsals, color guard is exempt from rehearsals every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 7:00-7:59 a.m. However, Mrs. Bogard is not available to meet with you tomorrow (August 15th). The color guard will not meet for evening practices until Thursday, August 22nd.

Practice runs from 7:00-9:15 a.m. for winds, drumline, and color guard. I need everyone in parade block prior to 7 a.m. so that we may step-off at 7 a.m. for the field. Everyone (winds, percussion, and color guard) will report back to the band room at 5:30 p.m. Friday evening for Meet the Tigers night. The performance attire is the summer uniform (what you wore for Parent-Preview). We perform at 6:30 p.m. in the stadium. We will be done for the night at 6:45 p.m. Friends and family are welcome to attend. This is a quick one! Those in a fall sport will stick around for their sport to be announced. Fall sport participants will wear their team's/squad's uniform instead of the Marching Tigers summer uniform.
