Daily Bulletin for 9/3/21

We are almost through the week, folks!
​

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 second memorization test, you will have one last opportunity next week. This will be one-on-one performance tests. 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 Friday (I forgot to check today). 
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. 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. Show shirts are not permitted. While we are in the stands, we will take off the shako (hat), and our jackets.
6. PARENT-VOLUNTEERS: Folks, we need somewhere between 10-12 parents this Friday game to help set props. Any and every help would be greatly appreciated!
   
7. SENIOR SONG: Seniors, start thinking ahead to what you would like to play.
8. CLASS DOJO POINTS: I am changing how I award points to those sections that have everyone present to a rehearsal. From this point forward, I will award points to those that have no UNEXCUSED ABSENCES. That will make it easier for sections to earn points if a member is quarantined, ill, or has a legitimate appointment. 
9. 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.
10. 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!
11. 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.
12. 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.
