Students must bring a personal water bottle or thermos type cooler to practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will have the large coolers full of ice water for them to refill their personal water bottle during drink breaks---but we will not have individual cups available. We cannot stress enough the importance of drinking lots of water!!! Mr. Harrell (our Marching Band Director) says the kids need to drink water all day, even at lunch, on the days they have marching rehearsal after school.
TUESDAY and THURSDAY SCHEDULES ~ PLEASE NOTE!
Some students have complained about not having enough time to get to their lockers and then over to the Band Room by 7th period. Mr. Harrell says on Tuesdays and Thursdays, GO TO YOUR LOCKER FIRST and get your bookbags, any homework or books you might need, your practice clothes, etc. and then come to the Band Room and get ready for rehearsal. He understands that there are some that might be a few minutes late. This is okay---just get your items and get over to the Band Room as quickly as possible.
Practice on Tuesday and Thursday will last until 5:30 p.m. Remember, bring your water bottle!
Last Call for Chick-fil-A Supper/Band Preview Tickets!
You should be receiving a call this evening from a "phone tree" member regarding the Chick-fil-A supper and band t-shirts. We have extended the deadline to Wednesday (yes, we are giving you a grace period!), because we want to include as many parents and family members as possible. STUDENTS in the Band DO need to purchase a ticket if they are eating! Please email acabands@yahoo.com or traceykirksey@knology.net to make your reservation.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please give Gary or Tracey a call at 396-2799 or email acabands@yahoo.com or traceykirksey@knology.net. If you have any complaints, email Mr. Harrell.......Just Kidding! Just wanted to see if you would read to the end!
We look forward to seeing you Tuesday, August 15th at 5:45 p.m. for our kick-off!
