There are some pending schedule chages in the coming weeks you should know about.
- Saturday (9/9) - Not attending Varsity Football Game
- Sunday (9/17) - Possibly attending Zane Trace Marching Festival (details to come)
- Saturday (9/23) - Not attending Jackson Apple Festival
Now explanations: (all schedule changes were first discussed with student leaders)
Football Game: Kick-off for that football game was moved to 1:30PM with us having to perform pregame at 1:10PM. This cause major conflicts with Cross Country and the ACT to the point that we would only have less than half the band for pregame, and not even a full band for Half Time. This paired with it not being on the original calendar, led the students to elect to not attend that Saturday Game.
Jackson Apple Festival: We learned that this fell on Homecoming night. We couldn't ask kids to miss their homecoming, so we voted to cancel on that.
Zane Trace Marching Festival: This is a potential replacement to both the game we are missing and the Jackson Apple Festival. It will be held on Sunday (9/17). I sent an e-mail to the director asking if they had room and for details. If this is finalized, it will be a required performance. If you have a prior commitment on that date, the student will need to get it to me in writing within two days of finalizing this date. We are not going to last minute register and then last minute drop out. You must know you schedule.
The Google Calendar has been updated to reflect all changes.
I will keep you posted as I know more!
Yay band!
