Wednesday 10/10 rehearsal plan
On Wednesday October 10th there is a PSAT test. This is also a day that we have Mr. Michael James (choreographer) coming in for a morning clinic.
I have spoken with the administration and other coaches and we will still be having our morning rehearsal from 7:00-8:30.
Here is the plan to accommodate by grade level:
10/11th graders will be dismissed at 8:00am giving them plenty of time to change and cool down for their 8:50 call time. (Same plan as football, volleyball and track that have practice this morning as well)
9th/12th graders will finish the rehearsal to 8:30 w/ Mr. James and will have one of two options:
1. They can leave campus if they have car or if parents want to pick them up and bring them back before late arrival call time.
or
2. They can stay in the Band hall to study, sleep, pass-off, play games or go to the gym with the rest of the school. You will not be allowed to roam the halls. It is either the Band Hall or the Gym.
Attendance for this rehearsal is important because it will be very content rich. I appreciate your patience and professionalism as we finish out our contest season.
