Our superintendant announced on Facebook today about the possibility of pushing the start of school back to August 26. This does not yet affect marhing band. Once I learn how this will effect teacher days, I'll put out an adapted schedule. It would be great to not practice in the heat of the day if possible.
We are still on track for the following schedule for the next two weeks:

We have had several things on our calendar get canceled so far. When that happens I will immediately update our Google Calendar. I will not delete the event, but instead mark it CANCELED for clarity. Current list of canceled events so far: Ross County Fair, Pickaway-Ross Battle of the Bands, Pumpkin Show. The calendar is updated live and will always have the latest information as I know it. I recommend syncing the calendar to your phone calendar if you have that ability. Directions on how to do that are at the bottom of the Calendar page of this website.
As a reminder, here is the safety plan the band is adopting until the school year begins. Please wear a mask to practice, bring a LARGE insulated water bottle, wear a hat/sunscreen, and be prepared to spend nearly the entire time outside.
Finally, if you haven't accepted the invitation to join the Google Classroom for PMVB 2020 just yet, please do so! There is a link to join SmartMusic on the Google Classroom. Song 1 of Show 1 has already been uploaded to SmartMusic. If you want a sneak peak of what is to come, feel free to get a start off there!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your section leader!
See you soon!
