Bus transportation is provided from Turpin & Nagel to Anderson for the after school Tuesday & Thursday practices. Pickup is in the Northport lot immediately after school at Nagel and by the Gazebo at Turpin.
It is going to be warm this week. Please ensure everyone has plenty to drink during practices. We will be doing part of our rehearsals indoors and part outside and may decide to do all of a rehearsal inside. We will be prepared for all possibilities and monitor the temperature with the athletic trainers. If outdoors, breaks will occur every 30 minutes.
Marching Band Grading
Grading for the marching band activity and the gym exemption is primarily based on attendance. In order for a student to earn the credits, attendance is required. Please be proactive with planning through October. Excused absences will only be granted for reasons mentioned in the program handbook.
Practices are equivalent to daily homework, football games are equivalent to quizzes and competitions are equivalent to tests.
All dates can be viewed on the Program Calendar below.
September 8 - Football Game Performance September 16 - Competition Performance September 22 - Football Game Performance October 7 - Competition Performance (during Fall break) October 13 - Football Game Performance October 14 - Competition Performance October 21 - Competition Performance October 28 - Competition Performance (29th is a backup option if assigned to that date)
