I’m so excited that we got the entire show on the field this past Friday (video link) with all of the backdrops and drills.  Thank you for all the hard work and extra time for sectionals, coming to build props, measure and get measured for uniforms, etc.  You are all wonderful!  Now we continue cleaning and ADDING more visuals.

Monday (10/3) Monday (tomorrow) – SMSD Marching Festival  SM South Stadium.  Call time has been moved up to 4:45.  We had some issues with pants when students took them off on Friday night – many came unsnapped…

Bravo Marching Band!    Great first outing on Friday night!  Mr. Hupe & I were very proud of your accomplishments for pre-game and half-time as well as in the stands. Thanks to ALL the parents who helped make Friday night a success – with the truck, chaperones, tailgate, pictures/video, and others I’m not even aware of. Your presence and involvement is incredibly encouraging! Tomorrow morning we watch the video to learn from our performance and then begin to add on drill for movement three!  (more…)
