Fall Break Information
It is important to understand that Fall Break is our most competitive time for Marching Band. Similar to a fall sport, we have qualifying competitions during fall break and therefore it is CRUCIAL that everyone is in attendance at rehearsals and performances.
We have worked out a schedule that allows for families to take a brief vacation or reprieve and then we are back to work at the end of the week for our qualifying competitions on Saturdays.
- Saturday, October 16 – We will have a VERY IMPORTANT QUALIFYING COMPETITION FOR OUR STATE CONTEST THIS DAY, SO WE WILL HAVE A FULL DAY OF REHEARSAL AND AN AFTERNOON OR EVENING PERFORMANCE TIME. THIS IS MANDATORY FOR ALL STUDENTS!
- Sunday, October 17 – Tuesday, October 19 BREAK – NO REHEARSAL
- Wednesday, October 20 – Rehearsal in the evening 6-9pm
- Thursday, October 21 – Rehearsal (full day)
- Friday, October 22 – Rehearsal and COMPETITION AT LUCAS OIL STADIUM
