What a great rehearsal we had on Sunday at Bosse High School. It was exciting to march up and down the streets of the local neighborhood, and be greeted by kids, parents, and grandparents from the community. It was so much fun!
Reminders:
We lineup on Locust Street, and Warmup- at 2:00 pm. The parade begins at 2:30 and should conclude between 3:30 and 4:00 pm. We will offer a bus shuttle back to the Civic Center Parking lot.
Celebration Meal: Mr. Emmert has offered to feed us after the parade back at the (THANKS!!!). We will eat in the board room, back in the EVSC offices.
FEET!: Yes Feet! It would be wise to wear 2 pair of socks, or to tape the back of your foot where it makes contact with your shoes. It is easy in a parade performance to develop blisters, and this will help prevent this from happening.
Make-up rehearsal:
We had a conflict come up with the Thursday make-up rehearsal. It has been moved to Tuesday 6-7:30 at Helfrich Park: HS Honors Band members need to attend that rehearsal. Do not miss honors rehearsal for All-Star MB. If you cannot attend this rehearsal, and you missed Sunday, please email me so I can give you instructions on how to make up this time.
Uniforms: Please make arrangements with your director to secure your uniform this week. Im sure they would prefer to pass them all out on the same day/time, so respect their wishes on this. They need to be returned Monday, so your director does not need to track your uniform down. Your directors are being very courteous to allow us to use them, respect and take care of them.
Instrument/cases: Do NOT FORGET to take them home after school on Friday. Mr. Emmert has offered to meet any students who need a location to store their instrument case at the EVSC offices downtown, across the street from the Civic Center Parking lot. This needs to be done between 1:30 and 1:45.
Guard: Remember to decorate your dance prop for the parade. Place a few T-Shirts inside the shoebox, to make it easier to toss/dance with.
