Our winter guard circuit championships are Saturday, March 29th at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This year we will offer 2 transportation options for this event. Go to this google form and select what you/your family would like to do. We need every guard member's family to fill this out. Option 1: Depart on school bus after school on Friday. We will stop at Opry Mills Mall for dinner before continuing on to Bowling Green. We will stay in a hotel that night. (4 students per room, 2 adults per room). The cost will be dependent on how many go, but we estimate it to be between $60-70 per person. We ask if you plan to stay the night, that you do it with our group. We will take adults too! We will return to Huntsville on Saturday after awards. Option 2: Meet us at the assigned time and location (Basketball arena) on the campus of Western Kentucky University on Saturday morning. Heads up- if you plan to drive up that morning, it typically involves leaving between 4-5 am. I understand it is my responsibility to arrange transportation to the event. Go to this google form and select what you/your family would like to do. We need every guard member's family to fill this out. Schedule for Bob Jones Competition. Reminder since this is a location competition, we will NOT be taking a school bus. We will all be meeting at Bob Jones. Make sure you take your flag home on Friday. Friday We would like to do a run through of our performance and get the floor folded correctly for the competition between 4-5 pm on Friday in the FA Cafeteria for the next 2 competitions (this Friday and March 21). If anyone has a conflict, please let Mr. Tankesley know (we know we are adding this last minute and will be understanding...) 3:00 pm - Meet at Bob Jones close to the unit check in door. This is typically on the North side of the school. Have hair and make up done when you arrive. 3:20 - Check in and find our holding location. Change into uniform. 4:20 pm - Body warm up 4:32 pm - Equipment warm up 4:47 pm - On deck 4:54 pm - PERFORMANCE 5:15 pm - Awards. Similar to our first competition, you will not have time to change out of uniform before awards. After awards, you will be dismissed. You are encouraged, but not required for this competition to stay for some of the other groups later in the evening. REMINDER - Next Monday Feb 17 (President's Day) no school- we have a gym rehearsal scheduled for 6-9 pm! District Honor Band Here is information on District Honor Band on Feb 21-22 if you were selected. District Honor Band Savannah Flores Shelby O’Linger Gray Gaba Caleb Miller Aidan McDavid St. Louis Trip Update! Thursday May 1 - Saturday, May 3. https://urtoursandevents.wetravel.com/trips/huntsville-high-school-band-trip-ur-tours-and-events-84984574 Updates 1/20/25: Here is the most updated itinerary. We hate that we cannot perform the national anthem at the Cardinals game. This was well beyond our control and we did everything we could to make it happen. Because we are unable to perform the national anthem at the Cardinals game, it is going to save everyone $40 on the trip. Wait list: If you registered recently, you were placed on a wait list. The reason for this is because our buses are completely full. Getting another bus has 2 challenges - 1 it will change the price of the trip making it more expensive and 2 - getting charter buses May 1-3 has been very challenging - no availability of charter buses this particular weekend across many companies. We are considering our options with this as we want as many people to go as possible, but for right now you are wait-listed.
