Monday, July 20 -Friday, July 24, 8am-11am and 5pm-8pm is WEEK 2 – This week we will set more drill for the
show (drill = the show movements and formations) and studying with more hired staff to refine music and
marching qualities –and ultimately learning how to put it all together to create our half-time & competition show.
(Cancelled) Tuesday, July 28 and Thursday, July 30, 5pm-8pm – Post-Camp rehearsals prior to the start of school. These
rehearsals are crucial because we are off for a week after camp until school starts the following week. We cannot
afford to lose everything we gain at camps and I’m sure you are familiar with teenage retention issues. Students
should eat well before coming and bring snacks and everything else required at camps.

THURSDAY PICTURES CANCELLED / POSTPONED:
Whether you have or haven’t read the “Thursday pictures & schedule” email sent earlier this morning, you can disregard it.
Fall Break PROTOCOL – It has always been my policy not to require student participation during commonly recognized holidays or school calendar breaks. Therefore, as before, we will not have rehearsals during the week of Fall break.
However, we strive to support the school, football team, and community at the varsity football game during Fall break, October 9th at home versus Athens.
Any student who is out of town and unavailable will not be penalized. Any student who is in town is asked to come and support our performance. It will be a bonus 100 point test grade.
We will meet on our field at 5:00 to take roll, warm-up, and coordinate how we’ll do things. During half-time, we may perform show music from the stands if too many students are missing.

Greetings 8th grade band students and parents!
We invite all 8th grade band students to come participate in the the audition clinics listed below. Our veteran student members will be participating and we are all very excited to welcome you/your students to the high school band family!
I am very glad that we will be able to do these clinics this year after having to cancel everything last year. Students will be masked and spaced throughout.
These clinics are very important, required for membership, but also very fun and low pressure!
*Students should make plans to attend all clinic dates and times but if you have a legitimate conflict, please reach out to coordinate with me, so I can ensure all students are fairly and equally instructed and assessed.
All audition clinics will be group-oriented and instructionally-based while serving to help the staff and me make important determinations. Students should initially come to the high school band room but clinics will be held between the band room, cafeteria, and possibly outside.
*Students should wear comfortable athletic clothing – shorts, t-shirt, tennis shoes. We encourage bringing a water bottle but not required.
Color Guard Audition Clinics:
Our color guard students will be coming to all BMS P.E. classes the week after next to demonstrate and teach some basic flag techniques to those who may be interested in joining our visual ensemble – Color Guard!
Tuesdays/Thursdays: April 27, 29; May 4, 6 – 3:45-5:30 each day – Official audition May 7 @ 4-6
