Weekly Rehearsals- Monday and Wednesday EVENINGS! We will be doing two nights a week (USUALLY Monday/Wednesday) from 6-9 pm at MHS! This will minimize transportation issues and maximize staff instructional time BUT will require students to work HARDER ON THEIR OWN between practices. Don’t wait for us to make you better! IMPORTANT: Our expectations of excellence remain unchanged! Attendance is a MUST. If you miss one practice you miss 50% of the rehearsals that week! Be sure you can COMMIT to this expectation.
Attendance- IMPORTANT REMEMBER: Everyone is a “VARSITY STARTER” in Marching Band. There are no substitutes if you miss a rehearsal or performance. This is especially true with the reduced rehearsal schedule. Please review the attendance section in the handbook. We will work with you within reason given that you COMMUNICATE ! KNOWN conflicts need to be communicated BEFORE committing. We will do our best to be accommodating but sometimes hard decisions must be made.
