TOMORROW IS THE JASPER COUNTY FALL FESTIVAL PARADE!
- TODAY'S REHEARSAL: Good work today, band! Now, all that is left is that you eat healthy, drink plenty of fluids, and get a good night's sleep tonight (if you are able). Tomorrow will be an easy, and short day, but it is your first performance/competition outside of Olney. Let's do this!
- JASPER COUNTY FALL FESTIVAL PARADE (9/11): It's official! Our first away performance Is a little over a week away! You may review the Itinerary by going to the 2021-2022 CALENDAR and clicking on the event, or by going directly to ANNOUNCEMENTS & ITINERARIES.
- MISSING ASSIGNMENTS: Review SkyWard for any missing assignments, such as your Handbook Confirmation Form, Set Markings, Memorization Tests, etc. You still have time to complete those assignments and raise your grades!
- BUS ASSIGNMENTS: Click the following link for tomorrow's seating chart. I moved some of you around. We initially had 33 students on bus #1 but only 17 students on bus #2. I tried to keep your groups together as best that I can. Please don't forget to wear a mask tomorrow. Wearing a mask on the bus is mandated.Please make sure to sit in your assigned seats tomorrow. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17cKwLnSK-MLaFxcOEhhREfsj0mumWCs6DyeRIV7Z4Bs/edit?usp=sharing
- SET MARKINGS IN THE 3RD MVT: Didn't pass this assignment on Tuesday? You have another chance tomorrow. See either Mr. Vaal or Mr. Jones.
- 3RD MVT. MEMORIZATION CHECK: Be ready to perform Never Enough / From Now On from memory next week. The test has been postponed until Tuesday (9/14).
- PARENT-VOLUNTEERS: Folks, we need parents to help set props on 9/18. Any and every help would be greatly appreciated!
- SENIOR SONG: Seniors, start thinking ahead to what you would like to play.
- 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.
- ILMEA AUDITIONS: Several of you plan to audition for the District 5 Festival this October. If you haven't already started, get cracking on your audition music. You have five weeks. That seems like a lot, but those that have auditioned at the senior level of ILMEA will tell you that it is not much time at all! Make sure to print your music and practice with a metronome. For those of you that do not have lessons with another music teacher, lesson times with me will be available in the near future. Ask me for more details if this pertains to you. Lessons with me begin next week.
