Let me begin by thanking everyone for a 100% effort in all aspects of this past Friday night’s game. I was very proud of you all. Looking good, sounding, moving with purpose and energy! Let’s keep it that way for the rest of the season.
This past week was “1st Round All-State auditions here in LMEA District IX. Kyle is still waiting for results from the Jazz band auditions recording session. We will find out results when all other districts have completed and submitted their entries. Best wishes Kyle…you got this! Thank you goes out to Javier, Charles, Ricky Bobby, Scott, and Zackery for representing PHS in the instrumental auditions. You all played very well and I enjoyed working MOCKS with you. Congratulations to Zackery, Scott, and Charles for qualifying for the 2nd (and final) round auditions, which will take place Saturday, 11 October, at Pineville HS (ROADTRIP!) Keep working those scales and PREPARED etudes, and through in some sight-reading.
Looking ahead to show drill… we should have very moderate weather this week, so let’s max out our efforts. The plan is to complete the back end of Mvmt 1 and move on to Mvmt 2. This week’s show at the Mandeville game will be Wavettes on Gimme Some Lovin, Movement 1 complete, and Boogie Shoes for Colorguard (with more hornline footwork).
There will be no TangiBandapalooza this weekend. Not all Tangi Bands are quite ready for this. See you in 2015! We will continue to build our show and take it on the road later in October and November! As such, MWR is planning a fantastic Saturday night shindig for us at the bandroom! Details soon! YOU DON”T WANT TO MISS THIS!
Read the TWIB! READ the TWIB! I say again… READ THE TWIB!
Coming soon to a bandroom near you:
1. Letter Jacket Orders for ELIGIBLE band and colorguard members. Mr. Square will have details on Tuesday!
2. Nightwatch Theme shirt design will be revealed.
3. Everyone MUST participate in either Parish Honor Band Auditions OR Fall Solo Assessment! MANY DEATAILS LATER!!!!!
4. Scale of the week: B-flat and E concert! NEW MUSIC for the Popeye’s “Love that Music” contest! Could earn us $10,000.00
5. MATTRESS SALE Fundraiser is coming in November. Time to start getting the WORD out!!
6. SYNERGY! Is still a very cool concept...That's how we get to 100% as a group!
I am looking forward to being back on campus. I’ll still be in the chair and/or on crutches until I can just hop, skip, and jump again! OKAY… maybe just walk, skip, and move with mo’ better PURPOSE and ENERGY!
Personal Responsibility In Developing Excellence!
