Pack the park at Perry!

 

Dear Honor, Symphonic and Concert Band Parents and Students,

 Next Tuesday, October 29^th, we will perform at the annual Pack the Park Football game.  We will play during the 8^th grade game.  8^th grade, A team football players will play with the band during the 8^th grade B game; 8^th grade, B team football players will play with the band during the 8^th grade A game.  Our portion of the football game will begin at 5:45 and end around 8:30pm.   Uniform for the performance is new band shirt and black pants.

 

The band sits on the East (Visitors) side of the field due to limited space on the home side.  Please do not bring your child food or drink while we are in the stands, this creates major problems for us logistically.  If your child would like to eat he/she may do so prior to 5:45 (see below).

 

Parents may pick students up after instruments have been properly stored following the first half of the 8^th grade A game (approximately 8:30 p.m.) 

 

For band members needing to stay after school: 

4:00p.m. – 5:30 p.m.:  Movie and relax time in the band hall pizza is available for $2, or students may bring their own sack supper.  Students must stay in the band hall under the supervision of the directors, this is NOT a come and go social activity. 

 

As in all band performances, this is a summative (75%) or major grade.   All band members have been preparing for this for many weeks, particularly the Honor and Symphonic band members.  We are very proud of their progress and know you will enjoy their playing.  Unexcused absences will result in a zero.
