Sectional rehearsals

This is just a reminder that starting this Tuesday, the percussion section will have rehearsal immediately following normal band practice. The normal band practice on Tuesdays is 3-5, the percussion section will stay until 6:30. It is probable that most days we will not stay all the way until 6:30, it all depends on what we need to get done and how the sectional goes.

This Tuesday- the 19th- we will be done by 6:00 because it is also open house at Tipp Schools.

On Tuesday the 26th we will NOT have sectionals at all because Troy has its open house and I need to be their with my son. Thus you will be done when the rest of the band is done at 5:00.

Please make sure you are practicing your music on your own. We are starting to fall behind a bit musically as a section because not everyone is keeping up with their music. We started out very strong at band camp, we do not want to fall behind. By this point you should have the first 2 songs memorized. If you do not then you are behind and you need to catch-up NOW!!! Really the whole show should be memorized by now, but I will give you some slack on Night Train for now.

Also, please be aware that there will be some minor changes to the drum feature in Blues in the Night. Nothing major but you need to be prepared.
