This week is another tough one. We are going to work up show 2 to perform in in its entirety this Friday and we have the Graham Marching Festival this Saturday! All in all, it will be a good time!
This week is practice like normal. The game is away at Huntington. Details on that are on the band calendar.
Graham Marching Festival
This is a band showcase on Saturday (9/22). It is like a football game, but instead of football, it's 10 marching bands performing their halftime shows back to back. It's a large amount of fun and we get to see some really impressive and large ensembles we wouldn't normally see in our SVC circit. Here is the rundown:
3:00 - Call time at PV to make final runthroughs without instruments
4:00 - Bus departs
6:00 - Bus arrives at Graham
6:30 - Parade of Bands (we'll work on what that means)
7:00 - Field Shows begin (11 bands)
10:30 - Awards ceremony
11:00 - Back on the Bus
1:00 - Arrive back at PV
They will have concessions at the festival and after you perform, you will have time to visit them to eat. Again, this is going to be an absolutely killer show! I cannot wait to show the other bands the power we have at Paint Valley.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
