The students did a tremendous job at their first competition performance of the season. We had people stopping us in the stadium and parking lot saying how much they enjoyed the performance. We will now begin the process of adding small elements that are planned and refining what has already been taught.
This Week's Marching Band Performances
Saturday: Competition @ Loveland
This competition is an earlier day competition. This isn’t our normal routine and has us at school early in the morning. If your child is attending the SAT test or an athlete with morning activities, please have them coordinate with a band director on methods for quick transport to Loveland high school after their activity ends.
If a parent plans to transport their child to or from a competition due to other activities, it is requested that communication is done prior to the day of the event. With so many activities and logistics taking place during the events, it becomes challenging for the band directors to keep up with quick, parking lot conversations about students utilizing alternate transportation plans. If we know in advance, we can make note of those plans on our parent chaperone sheets ahead of the departure from school.
