Marching Band Rehearsals

We will be changing rehearsal times on Mondays and Wednesdays to 3:30 til 6:30. We will be planning on rehearsing at Ft. Herriman Middle School. We will not have access to the inside of the building, so please come prepared with your own water to rehearsals.

Rehearsals this week

Just a quick reminder about this weeks rehearsals for marching band. We will be rehearsing on Tuesday, August 24th from 3 to 6 PM. As of tonight we will now be rehearsing on Saturday morning from 7 to 10 AM. For now plan on Monarch Meadows for both, but be checking back for a change on Saturday's rehearsal.

Thank you for your hard work up to this point! The pep band sounded awesome at the game! I am so excited with the growth you all made musically during band camp. Be proud of what you have done, and start getting excited about the upcoming competition season because you will make a very big splash. I am very proud of you guys. One last reminder, we still need two people to fill holes in the drill so make sure you are putting the word out there.

Thanks,

Mr. Mangum

Awesome Job!

What a terrific night! Our first ever potato social turned out to be a huge success. Great performance by the band! Awesome turnout at the event! Great food preparation and serving! the silent auction went splendidly! I just can't thank everybody enough for their many, many, many contributions to make last night such a huge success! It really was wonderful. I think we will be making it an annual event to help raise money for the marching band and those that participate in it. Thank you all so much!

Band fundraiser

The marching band fundraiser is quickly approaching and there are just a few things that need to be taken care of. Expect to see an e-mail from one of the members of the booster board soon mentioning these issues.

We will need some help cooking potatoes, chili and cookies for the event. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Also, please make sure all money is submitted by the end of band on Tuesday. There are a few students that have been able to raise enough funds with this one event to cover nearly all the costs of marching band. Feel free to invite all your family, neighbors and friends. It should be a great deal of fun!

I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday night and thank you all so much for your contributions to the band so far, it has been a great help to all the band students.

Thursday night rehearsal

Alright, here is the scoop on the DCI event. It will be Thursday evening, not Friday. So, on Thursday there will be a bit of a change to the rehearsal schedule. We will still start at 7 and go until 12. Please bring a lunch so we can start rehearsal at the high school at 1. We will end rehearsal at 4:00 in order to give everyone a chance to get to Jordan Landing for the show "DCI: Big, Loud and Live" it is a long one, from 4:30 til 10 or so. It is a quarterfinals event, not the finals. I am not sure on the cost, but plan on about $10. I am not requiring anyone to go, but I am strongly recommending that everyone in marching band attend. If any parents or family would like to join us, we would love to have you. Please let me know tomorrow if you would like to go so we can maybe get a group discount or at least get seats together. I will definitely be there and hope you will be too!

Rehearsal for Monday

Marching band will be rehearsing at Butterfield Park at 7 AM on Monday morning. We might be practicing at Ft. Herriman later in the week, so be ready to make the change if necessary. The morning rehearsal will end at 11. Any seniors in the band, please take care of your registration after that rehearsal, you should have enough time. The same goes for juniors and sophomores, you should have enough time to get your registration taken care of after the morning rehearsal is over. I spoke with the counselors and they said it is not a problem if you don't go during your assigned time alphabetically. E-mail me if you have any questions.

The 1 o'clock rehearsal will be in the band room at Herriman High School! I just received the go ahead to have rehearsal there, so we will finally get to use our own room! If you need help finding it, please stop by the main office and they will direct you. Once you have found it, please help others find it as well. I will be in a meeting just before rehearsal, so please help each other out.

The evening rehearsal (6 PM) will be back at Butterfield Park.

Please make sure you are prepared with plenty of water, proper foot wear and sunscreen.

I look forward to seeing you all again on Monday, enjoy your weekend!
