Tuesday, September 25
This is a busy week for the Sprayberry High School "Band of Gold". We have many important events in the next 7 days, and I will discuss each one briefly below. I will post more information about each as it becomes available.
- Please don't forget that it is VERY IMPORTANT that all students attend EVERY rehearsal. We have not had a rehearsal where every student was in attendance in several weeks. I understand that we have a very busy schedule, and that students have homework and other obligations, but if we want to be successful, we must have every student at each rehearsal. Remember, rehearsal is where we learn to work as a group. If one person is missing, we either have to take future rehearsal time to catch him/her up, or we have to hope that that person will be able to learn the material that was missed. Either way it slows down the progress of the group. Parents, please help us by ensuring that your student is at every rehearsal!
- Friday night we will be playing at Chattahoochee High School. We have recently found out that this is Chattahoochee's homecoming, so our performance opportunities will be limited. At this point, we will be performing after the game. As I find out more, I will post information in this blog. The basic schedule for Friday Night is as follows:
- 4:00 All equipment at the truck
- 4:40 In bandroom to get dressed
- 5:15 Buses leave
- 7:30 Game Begins
- 10:00 Possible BOG performance
- 11:15 Approximate return time
Directions to the game are included at the bottom of this post!
- Saturday is our mini-camp. We will begin at 10:00 AM sharp, and continue until 8:30 PM. This is an important day, because we will try to learn as much of the closer as we possibly can, and we will prepare for our exhibition performance. It is imperative that every student be in attendance for the entirety of the mini camp! More details will be coming soon...
- On Monday night (October 1st), we will be performing at the Cobb County Exhibition at McEachern High School. This is an event geared to allow the bands in Cobb County/Marietta City Schools see each other in a friendly, non-competitive environment. We will perform our show for the other bands in attendance, and will receive taped comments from a panel of adjudicators that we will use to help refine our show. I am attaching below the general schedule for the evening. This will be a late night for the students, so please encourage your child to get any homework done for Tuesday during the weekend. We will not return to Sprayberry until late (around 10:30 PM), so it is imperative that they get a jump on any homework/projects/studying they can.
Directions to McEachern are included below.
