MISD Stadium Rehearsal on Monday: Procedure Reminders
Here are a few reminders/procedures that we need your help with (should be nothing new from previous years)
General Reminders
- No buses will be used to pick up or drop off from the school to the stadium. Students are responsible for working out transportation to and from the stadium (parent ride, peers, ect...)
- The semi/box trucks will be loaded right after school starting about 3:00pm. (Front ensemble, battery, electronics, Sousaphones, Bari saxes). NO TROMBONE, MELLOPHONE, EUPHONIUM, BASS CLARINET FOR STADIUM REHEARSALS
- Keep instrument cases in your cars and bring in only your red band bag
- We will unload semis/box trucks on Tuesday morning as soon as they arrive to campus.
Uniform/Attire Reminders
- Please wear your Red band hat and Marching Shoes to this rehearsal (Helps us see and clean dots easier as well as giving you a realistic performance feel)
- Grab your "Splash" jacket after school from your uniform bag. (LOOK FOR UPCOMING CARE INSTRUCTION MESSAGE TO BE SENT OUT SOON) We will bring the splash jackets back in on Tuesday morning
Objectives due this week
We have completed the 1st 6th weeks but are still in Quarter 1.
Objective Sheet # 2 will be passed out tomorrow and is below for your reference.
**Remember that all objectives can be turned in at any time for 100% credit, the punctuality grade that is attached signifies the students ability to turn them in on time.
In case you missed the game, here is our halftime performance against Jesuit (starts @ 1:20)
Band Photos available on Smug Mug
All of the photos from this summer up to today are on the website!!
password: broncoband
All images are downloadable by clicking on the individual images, then to the left of the green "buy" button is a download arrow. If anyone wants to order prints or other products directly from smugmug, that is when you'd use the green "buy" button.
There is also a Smugmug app where you can see all the pictures!
After downloading the app, go to "find photographer" and search for boydhsband. After that they can enter the usual password and then have access.
Have questions??
