We just got our performance time for District contest. Here are the highlights:
- Friday, March 2nd
- 5:00PM performance time
- Miami Trace High School
Our timeline for that day is looking close to this:
- 2:45 - leave class to load bus
- 2:55 - depart for Miami Trace HS
- 3:50 - Arrive at Miami Trace HS
- Time to unload, use the restroom, find our warmup room, do a dry practice in the room
- 4:30 - Warm Up time slot
- 5:00 - Stage performance
- 5:30 - Sight Reading
- 5:45 - pack up/load/wait for rating/eat dinner/watch another group perform
- 6:45 - Head back to PVHS
- 7:35 - Arrive at Paint Valley
We are the second group to perform for District 16 and we are sandwiched between two very good groups: Wilmington and Eastern Brown. There is no place for slacking for this time slot at all. Also, the judges will be quite fresh and intently listening for every detail in these pieces. It is going to take every single bit of effort we have to bring home a Superior this year. We 100% correct notes and rhythms, balance, blend, intonation, style, and expression. Practicing is non-optional at this point.
Attached find the complete band schedule for the weekend.
If you need to be picked up right after we perform, that is just fine. Just let me know before hand so I can keep track of everyone.
See you tomorrow,
