I just got the word that SVC schools have made the decision to have marching bands only play at home games this season.
As such, our calendar of performances are as follows:
- Friday, Augst 28 - Home v. Adena
- Friday, September 4 - Home v. Piketon
- Saturday, September 19 - Oak Hill Band Show
- Friday, 9/25 - Home v. Zane Trace
- Sunday, October 4 - Ross County Marching Festival
- 10/9 - OHSAA Playoffs (tbd)
- Saturday, October 10 - New Albany Marching Festival
- 10/16 - OHSAA Playoffs or 7th SVC Game (tbd)
- future playoff games tbd
- Friday/Saturday, November 13/14 - PVMB Last Blast
I am talking with our Athletic Director about if we can logistically do performances at PVHS on nights the football team is playing away. I will keep you posted on any developments on that front.
We have not yet heard about the marching band festivals. I will have an answer on Ross County Marching Band Festival next week Thursday. I should have an answer on Newalbany Marching Festival and Oak Hill Band Show shortly after.
I do not know yet how this will effect OHSAA playoffs or Last Blast. I will keep you posted on decisions surrounding those events as well.
The student leaders and I are going to talk before rehearsal on Thursday to discuss a plan for the season. Obviously, none of this is ideal, but we will make the absolute most of it! The marching band will still be a symbol of school pride and pep by providing exciting experiences where ever they are.
If you have any specific qustions, please reach out. I am giving you all the information I have as I get it.
See everyone Thursday! Our first performance is still the 28th!
