DCI Finals

We are going to show the DCI finals at my house Wednesday Sept 5. The show starts at 8 p.m.

Since it is a school night you will need to have a ride at 10 p.m. when the show ends.

Hope to see your there.

1st Honor Band Info

Just got word about the USU Tri-State Honor Band. I can nominate 6 students. Let me know if you are interested in attending. Deadline is October 15. Learn more about it here.

Trip Update

We have an official answer to the proposed Holiday Bowl trip. That answer is no. We will not be going on that trip. When I asked about an in state trip in April or May I was told to write up a proposal and we would see. If any of you have an idea of a trip you would like to take in state give me the ideas. I have some, but want to hear yours as well.

Welcome Back

It is time to start a new year. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you all again as we start out on a new path of discovery together. Our goal this year is "Achieving Greatness Together." From Marching Band to Jazz Band and everything in between I wish us all to strive for this greatness as we make music and inspire others as well as ourselves.

Welcome back to school.

Park City Jazz Festival Clinics

On Saturday Aug 25 there are several free jazz clinics in Park City. If you check out their web site you can see what is offered and perhaps get tickets to the evening concerts.

Opening Assembly

We have been asked to play at the opening assembly. In order to pull this off we will be having a practice Tuesday @ 8:00 a.m. and then we will meet on Wednesday @ 7:00 a.m. Please plan to be there.

Lowes Gig Info

I spoke with the lady organizing the event ad here is the plan for Tuesday:

10:00 Drum Line and Tubas @ UHS to load. Others start to show up at Lowes
10:30 Be at Lowes ready to warm up
10:30 Warm up
12:20 (about) performance

From about 10 to 11:30 there will be raffle tickets and food available. I think both will cost money. At about 11:30 the ceremony begins. We should be on about 12:15 or 12:20. After we perform there will be a few more items in the event. We need to stay there for the check presentation and the photo-op. Do not plan to leave until it is over. (If you have an issue let me know and we will work these out on a 1 on 1 basis.)

I think we should be done by 1:00. (No promises.)

I really need to have a large turn out for this event. Whether you are planning to do fall band or not please come help us out with this gig. Monday @ 9 we will have a music rehearsal to finalize the program. (Practice starts at 6:30)

You will need to wear the band shirts, black pants, and black shoes. If you are not going to do fall band, did not do summer band, and will not be doing BBall pep band you may choose not to buy a shirt. In this case please where a white polo style shirt instead.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Fall Marching Band Camp

Here is the schedule for the next three weeks. Plan to be to all practice and performance events. We are short on time and need to get a lot done quickly.
