Hello Viper Vanguard Families!
Unfortunately, the weather did not agree with our plans to debut our show for the public at the football game this past Friday. We did have a nice time for a while hanging out with our Cypress Creek friends in the auditorium before the decision was made to cancel the game. The game will be made up on Tuesday, October 1. More details on that later however, we will plan to perform at the game since it is a home game.
This week will feature our first away game as we travel to Colonial on Friday. Our hope is to perform a bit more of the show than we were planning to do last week and hopefully the weather will cooperate to make that happen!
The schedule for the week is below:
- Tuesday- Marching Band Rehearsal 5:30-8:30
- Wednesday- Marching Band Rehearsal 2:30-5:30
- PARENT MEETING – Wednesday after rehearsal 5:30-6:30
Yes, I know open house is Tuesday. Teachers were notified last Wednesday about the event, too late to accommodate any schedule adjustments. We will proceed as normal with rehearsal.
Friday – Game vs. Colonial BLUE SHIRTS
- 2:45- Short rehearsal on Football Field
- 3:45- Rehearsal concludes, load truck
- 4:15- Dinner Break
- 5:00- Meet in band room- get into uniform
- 5:30- Load Buses
- 6:15- Arrive at Colonial
- 7:00- Kickoff
- 8:15- APPROX halftime performance
- 9:30- APPROX conclusion of game
- 10:15- Depart from Colonial
- 10:45- Arrive back at LBV, unload trucks, pack and dismissal
Once I receive pre-order information from Colonial I will share.
Something that would be a huge help for the band, after halftime at away games, if we could have a crew of parents who can help load the truck BEFORE the end of the game that would save a good 20-30 minutes of time when we leave games. If you are around and want to help just let me know at the game!
Looking ahead- Next week 9-2
- NO SCHOOL on Monday
- Tuesday- Marching Band 5:30-8:30
- Wednesday- Marching Band 2:30-5:30
- Friday- Home game vs. University
Hopefully we will begin to hit our routine and start enjoying some great performances here soon! Have a great week!
