AMB WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 10-7-2024

GOOD EVENING band family! I'd like to send out a huge congrats to our marching band. The directors are WAY proud of every student who performed yesterday - we made tremendous improvement over the last time that we were at GP. We will recap our scores with the students tomorrow at rehearsal. One judge placed the band 5th overall out of all 20 6A bands in the caption of MUSIC. At a corps band competition, this is a tremendous accomplishment!

The video of the performance is here:

FALL BREAK: All students have a fall break agreement in conjunction with all other high school bands in the district for practice this week. We had our band family vote, and we decided to do AM practices based off of that. This will be good because the weather will be 70 degrees, and we can knock it out early!

The schedule this week:

Mon 7:30AM to 10:00
Tues 7:30 to 10:00
Thurs 7:30 to 10:00
Friday Game performance

All practices will be on the practice field unless we get stadium clearance.

All ALTERNATES are encouraged to come to practice on Monday, and then they will be excused on Tues and Thurs and will join us on Friday for the game.

WATER JUGS and HYDRATION: We will continue to provide large coolers of ice water for all students. However, we need for every band student to come to rehearsal with a water jug. Our band is having a hydration problem, and we need everyone's help to stay safe. I schedule water breaks typically after every 3 to 5 repetitions of what we do, but students can't show up to practice already dehydrated. Please limit caffeine, sugary drinks, and energy drinks this week and stick to water with good electrolytes. ​
