Hello Viper Vanguard Family!
It was great to finally have a chance to perform our show at halftime of the game Friday vs. University. We were very lucky to get the chance as, just after the 3rd quarter resumed, the game was called due to more lightning. Fortunately, the team was winning when that happened, so hopefully, that translates to a win for the team!
Thank you to all of the parents who helped in the stands, in the concession stand, and elsewhere on Friday. You helped make a somewhat chaotic evening work smoothly!!
This week we have another away game at Oak Ridge Friday night. The schedule for this will be similar to the Colonial game, and is indicated below:
Friday game at Oak Ridge – RED SHIRT
- 2:40- Rehearsal in stadium
- 3:45- Rehearsal concludes- Load Trucks- Dinner Break
- 5:00- Meet in Band Room- Get into Uniform
- 5:30- Load Buses- Depart for Oak Ridge
- 6:15- Arrive at Oak Ridge
- 7:00- Kickoff
- 10:15- Approx arrival home, unload trucks, dismiss
I will try to keep everyone updated on Remind (parents) as to any delays or adjustments in schedule.
Of note for this game, we need LOTS of parent help with our percussion equipment at Oak Ridge. There is no track at this stadium, so all equipment has to be pushed over grass. Extra hands will be a tremendous help.
Rehearsal schedule for this week:
- Tuesday- Marching Band 5:30-8:30
- Wednesday- Marching Band 2:30-5:30
Next week is a standard game week with a home game on Friday.
OUR FIRST CONTEST IS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 at TOCOI CREEK HS. We perform at 6:15pm. I will have a detailed schedule for you this week.
Two reminders:
- Parent chaperone sign up for shows here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054AA4A82FABF58-50770804-viper
- Fair Share payments can be made any time on school pay. Reminder, the total amount for the year is $400, and can be made in installments.
- I hope to be able to launch a fundraiser very soon. Working with a vendor now to set something up for us quickly.
Thank you! Have a great week!
