Director’s Notes
Hello Band Families!
Thank you so much to all the students, parents, and staff who helped make band camp a success! It was an incredible week, and you should be very proud of all the work you’ve done!
Marching Band students: please write in your sets into your music for parts 2 and 3. This will help a lot for putting the rest of the show together!
The Marching Band has been asked to play at the Freshman Orientation Pep Rally this Monday! Sophomore, Junior, and Senior marchers, we need you for a great performance to welcome the new Titans! We will do a quick warm-up at 11am in the band room. We should be done with the pep rally by 12pm. Please let me know if you are not able to attend. All freshman marchers should attend the pep rally and other orientation events as scheduled.
On Saturday, the Band will be performing at the Fall Sports Kick-Off! We will start rehearsal at 8:15am in the band room. The anticipated end time is 10am. Please wear Blue & Gold (your GBS Band T-Shirt is perfect for this)!
Lockers will be available for use starting this week. If you plan on using your locker, you must bring a lock. If you are renting an instrument from the school, it is not allowed to be in a locker without a lock.
You can find the full tentative season schedule here. Please note that dates and times are subject to change. Any changes in the schedule will be communicated via eblast as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
