NEXT WEEK
Tuesday, Evening Rehearsal
6:30-8:30pm
With this being competition week it is CRUCIAL that the kids are at rehearsal. We’ve had lots of absences lately (some unexcused) and it is very difficult to prepare without everyone in attendance. Please avoid all conflicts (only exception is school activity related). “Section” tee shirts worn this night.
Thursday, Evening Rehearsal and PARENT PREVIEW
6:30-8:30pm
This is our last rehearsal prior to Saturday’s competition. We are wanting to have as many/all parents as we can in the stadium around 7:45pm to 1. Have a captive preview of the show. and 2. To learn the audience participation spots in the show to help add energy for Saturday. Any/all parents/family/friends encouraged to attend to help our kids prepare.
Students will wear the yellow “Shine” shirt for this rehearsal.
Saturday, Park Hill Marching Festival
Attached you will find the itinerary for the day. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
Call time for full drumline, drum majors, and brass soloists is 7:45am
Call time for all others is 9:30am
All students should arrive in yellow “Shine” shirts, shorts, black socks, and marching shoes.
Please have students eat breakfast before they arrive.
We will be serving lunch during the day.
Students can bring money if they’d like addition concessions.
We encourage parents to join us all day OR show up for performances. These events are fundraisers for the schools hosting them, so there will be an admission fee. The more parents we have the better!!!!!
