Well, it is the final week of the competitive marching season 2014! We want to end on a high note (no pun intended), so please read carefully as next week’s schedule will be very important.

Here is the itinerary again for those who need it:
(See attached file: Odessa Marching Invitational.doc)
FYI…..they are not set up to accept anything other than cash for entry to the festival or concessions….come prepared for that
Tuesday, October 21st
Sectionals for Battery only at 6:45am
NO brass or woodwind sectionals this week
EVENING REHEARSAL CHANGE!!!!!
In an effort to allow the kids to watch MOST of the Royals game Tuesday night, we are going to alter the rehearsal time.
Rehearsal will begin for ALL marching band members at 5pm. It will end AROUND 7pm. (The kids seemed satisfied, mostly, when I said they MIGHT miss the first pitch)
Friday, October 24th
Possible Playoff Game
The way I understand it:
If we win TONIGHT (10/17), we will host a playoff game next week
If we lose TONIGHT (10/17), we will not host a playoff game next week (we will NOT travel to the game)
If we host, we will treat it like every other game at which we perform……pregame, halftime, etc….
Stay tuned……but be prepared for either scenario
Saturday, October 25th
UCM Festival of Champions
Please read this schedule carefully as there are different call times for different groups of people.
It is a prelims/finals format, so the arrival time back at LSW will be based on whether or not we make finals. We won’t know that until about 5:30pm that day.

A great end-of-season celebration to honor leaders, seniors, award winners, and have a great time together.
ALL family members are invited to attend. We will need to know in advance how much food to order, so please RSVP BEFORE October 28th using the following link:
