October Plan

Attitude is Everything

“ Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. ”

- Henry Ford (1863-1947)

“ Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. ”

- Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

We all need to get along and have fun together. Lets do it.

Homecoming

Thank you to all of you for a great Homecoming Day. I know it was not easy with me gone most of the day, but I appreciate you working so hard in my absence. The game went very well. We received many compliments and I was pleased with the result.

Next we need to fine tune the opener, and learn the closer. I would love to get a score over 80 for a first time marching competition. Thanks for the hard work, lets set to it again.

All-State Band Auditions

There are changes in the All-State Band rules this year. For full details go here. It looks like you will need to go to AFHS on Sat Sept. 22 or one of the stores on the Friday before. Make sure you get a copy of the music and application. There is a sight reading component this year, but you are still making recordings. You are just doing it on their site, not here. Questions see me and I'll walk you through.

Marching Band Gigs

I think I have us registered to compete in two shows. The first will be on Oct 9 (Tue) at BYU. THe second will be Oct 20 (Sat) in American Fork. Both shows are "New Band" friendly. I should have conformation in the next few days that we are in, but all looks good. Plan now to attend. I am planning to find an evening that we can do the show in our own stadium for parents and the community as well. I really want this to be a great opportunity for all, lets pull together and make it great.
