Things you need Instrument/Equipment (you are responsible for making sure it gets loaded) FULL WATER JUG (the one you use for rehearsal) Uniform on (polo shirt, khaki shorts, white ankle socks, athletic shoes; color guard shirt and skirt) Flip folder with stand tunes (winds and percussion) All accessories (guard pom poms, reeds, sticks, mouthpieces, etc...) General Game policies Band Students should stay with the band at all times unless otherwise given permission. Only band students and chaperones should be in the band area in the stands. No food or drinks (other than water) in the stands. Students do not have time to go to the concession stand during the game - students should eat before the game during the dinner break. Instruments should always be in your hand while in the stands (to avoid an accident). Students are expected to stay the entire game unless previous arrangements have been made with a director. Students should always show good sportsmanship and use appropriate language at all times. Uniform Due to the heat, we wear our "casual" uniform for the first 2-3 games. For winds and percussion this is your blue band polo, tucked into khaki shorts, athletic shoes, and white ankle-length socks. Please wear a belt with your shorts! We are planning to be in full uniform next week at James Clemens Color guard -Lululemon skirt and t-shirt with your cheer shoes. Special Concert / Collaboration The UAH Wind Ensemble will be performing a concert at HHS on Thursday, September 26th at 7:30 pm in the auditorium. We would love families to come and support this concert. It will be less than an hour. Students in Wind Ensemble are planning to collaborate on a piece as part of this concert. We anticipate a short rehearsal after school on Wednesday, September 25th and a performance at the concert on Thursday, September 26th. More info as we get closer.... Pep Rallies Here are the scheduled pep rallies: September 6 - Grissom September 20 - Sparkman (pep rally for senior night) October 11 - Homecoming Game against Albertville November 1 - Lee Playoff Pep Rallies- TBD Pep rallies take place during the school day, but parents are welcome to check-in through the school and attend if you would like. In the past, pep rallies generally take place during advisory time (10:00 am), although I don't have confirmation of this for this year yet. Mrs. Flippo has asked the band to wear a "uniform" for all pep rallies. It will be important students wear this on the day we have pep rallies. This will generally be the following: Winds (Brass/Woodwinds) - Black dry-fit shirt and khaki shorts OR blue polo and khaki shorts (we will announce the week of). We may also switch to jeans as the temperature gets cooler (which we will announce to do as a group) Percussion - Percussion jersey and khaki shorts OR jeans as the temperature changes (we will all either wear shorts or all wear jeans as announced that week). If ALL jerseys have not come in yet, percussion will wear same thing as winds Color Guard - Lululemon Skirt and Guard shirt.
