Percussion Stuff!
Oct. 14-22
Finishing This Week . . .
Tomorrow morning, marchers need to be at South by 9:00 am wearing rehearsal clothes. We will rehearse until 11:00. We will load the truck, eat and change into uniform. Be sure you have your khakis and polos and some street shoes for after the performance. We want to leave South by 12:30 pm to go to Seckman High School in Imperial MO. We perform in pre-lims at 3:15 pm. All bands will perform again in finals. That time will be determined after the preliminary awards. This is a local show that's super close, lets get a lot of friends and family out at Seckman to cheer us on. The night should be over, completely, around 10:00 pm. More details below.
