Congratulations to the students on their performance this past Saturday at Pinson!  We received all superior ratings, best in class percussion, and best in class band.  We also received the gold division trophy.  This award goes to the group with the highest average of all scores which includes drum major, dance line, guard, percussion, and band.  Great job!!!

Practice this week will be on Monday and Thursday after school and Wednesday during last block.  We will not practice on Tuesday after school because All-County Band tryouts will be that day.  These auditions are optional.  They will be at Minor High School at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday.  We have been working on the required piece of music in class for several weeks now.

Our game this week will be at Hewitt Trussville.  Call time will be 4:30 p.m.  Their stadium is not at the new high school.  They are in the process of building a new stadium but it is not finished.  Follow the link below for directions to the stadium for this week.

 Our second and last competition will be this Saturday at Hayden High School.  We play at 7:40 p.m.  Our call time on Saturday will be 3:45.  We will spend approximately one hour on the football field reviewing and practicing.  We will eat at 5:00 and then load equipment, put on uniforms and load the buses.  We plan to leave around 5:45.  Our warm-up time is 6:55.
