December 15 Practice Details

Our next London Parade practice (and final rehearsal with instruments!) is Saturday, December 15, from 11 AM - 3 PM. 

In addition to practicing the TV Zone performance drill, we will spend time outside, practicing our parade marching and conditioning for a 2-mile parade. Like last week, students should wear layers, and make sure they are dressed appropriately to work outside in the cold temperatures. 

NOTE: Students are asked to wear both their LONDON TOUR T-SHIRT and their MARCHING BAND SHOES to this practice.

All students will bring their instruments, in their cases, to the Field House as practice begins. Cases will be left in the same location they were stored at the Dec. 8 practice.

Beginning at 2:30 PM, family and friends are invited to observe our practice and see several repetitions of the band's TV Zone performance routine. Visitors are asked to arrive in the Field House no earlier than 2:15 PM. 

At approximately 2:50 PM students will be dismissed and asked to place their marching band gloves into their uniform garment bag. This will be the last time students will see their garment bag before it is shipped to London. 

At 3:00 PM, any student shipping their instrument in advance may check it in with Mr. Teague. If a student is planning on using that same instrument to perform with Pep Band on Saturday evening, they will keep the instrument and check it in at the conclusion of the Pep Band performance.
