Great job, again, band, on a fantastic final performance of the Ariana Grande show at Oak Hill Stadium Stroll. It's hard to believe, but we are in the final weeks of our season! Time to hit the senior show hard!
At the bottom of this note, I added the potential of playoff games. Not a sure thing if we will play at playoff games, but enough of a possibility to put on our radar.
Here is what is coming up in the next two weeks:

Senior Night (9/25)
Seniors, if she hasn't already, Mrs. Brill should be sending out a survey for you to fill out to create the script for Senior Night. Details for parents will be out when I have them. I am hopeful that the ticket situation will be at least as good as last game where upperclassmen are allotted 4 tickets each and each other performer will be allotted 2. This may change for Senior Night as this will likely be the last football game our seniors have on this field.
I will keep you in the loop as I know more.
Friday Night Food
Here is a link to the schedule the team came up with for feeding the band Friday nights. For quick reference here is the schedule of Friday night food:
- Game 3: Low Brass + Flutes/Clarinets
Thank you to the parents who were able to come to help out with this. Special thank you to Amy Johnson and Mindi Campbell who have kept me honest about third quarter. Our next game isn't for another week!
Ross County Marching Festival (10/4)
RCMF is on for Sunday, October 4! Here are the details for the festival.
- Date/Time - Sunday, October 4 @3pm
- Student Call Time - 12:30pm @PV
- Location - CHS, Obadiah Harris and Family Athletic Complex
- Tickets - $5
- Purchased at gate with voucher
- PV has 37 vouchers to distribute
- We'll get video on Google Classroom for anyone not able to attend in person
- Masks required by everyone when not performing or eating
Chillicothe's maximum home side capacity with COVID restrictions is 380. The number of vouchers each school received was proportional to the number of marchers each school has participating. That is how we got to the 37 number.
We will guarantee every student one voucher if they request one. If a student requests more than one voucher, first priority will be given to the senior's last RCMBF. All remaining vouchers will be distributed on a lottery system the week before the festival.
This was the fairest way we could think of distributing such a limited number of vouchers.
Last Blast (10/16)
Our Last Blast Concert is currently scheduled for Friday, October 16 in the Elementary School Gym. The student leadership team is working on our seating capacity and we'll have "tickets" to help keep us within state laws for large gatherings. We will also need to follow all regulations on masks and distancing.
Additionally, we are looking to wrap our end-of-season awards banquet into this night. The reason for this is 1) the logistical struggle of creating a banquet with COVID regulations and 2) the ease of not adding additional dates onto the calendar.
We'll attempt to make a secondary "cook out" for just the kids for Senior Awards and to otherwise bookend the season. Keep a look out for that date in the coming weeks.
More details will come out as the leadership team works to refine the event. I will be sure to keep you appraised of key decisions.
Potential Playoff Games
The football team is playing very well this year! That means playoff games are most certainly in the team's future. I have asked Mr. Ewry what that means for us with regards to travel.
We have been hesitant to include playoff games in our schedule as we do not know what is allowed or not allowed. Stay tuned on these details. The existence of playoff games and if we are allowed to travel may effect Last Blast.
Playoff games would start on October 9th or 10th depending on whether playoff games are on Fridays or Saturdays. I will let you know when I know more.

See you soon!
