News From the Band Room
ELCO RAIDER BAND
Week #2
This week we will be traveling to Lebanon. Report time for this week will be 4:30pm. Students will need to be dressed in their full band uniforms by 4:45pm to march over to the stadium for our official band picture of the season. It is important that we get this picture taken so it can be included in the Lebanon County Marching Band Exhibition program and the school yearbook. We will also be taking individual senior pictures that night as well. We will then come back to the high school and change into our show shirts and khakis for the football game. We will be departing ELCO High School at 5:45pm. There will be NO MEAL for the kids this week. Band members should eat before they arrive to school or wait to eat at the game.
This Thursday night between 7-8:30pm. All band members should stop in to double check their uniforms for proper fit and to be issued gauntlets and a shako hat. Drumline will have practice at the high school. There is NO practice for the full band. Wind players may simply check their uniforms and go home.
Students will need their instruments Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week. We will be rehearsing during period 4 outside on the front lawn on those days.
As always, if you have any questions, please email Mr. Fair dfair@elcosd.org
