We have only 4 rehearsals until our first performance against Cape Coral HS at our home football stadium!  Make sure your dot books are up to date, and come to rehearsals prepared and ready to perform!

Schedule change:  The Riverdale HS football game and band middle school night will be on Thursday, September 24 instead of Friday due to the hurricane make up day.  Please mark your calendars.  The rehearsal for Friday will be moved to 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Thank you to everyone for your hard work on Tuesday, and please take every precaution to avoid illness!  Wash your water bottle, do not share your water, wash your hands, DO NOT COME TO PRACTICE IF YOU ARE SICK (make sure you email Mrs. Hamilton if this is the case).

Do not forget your dot book, water bottle, music, instrument, white t-shirt, athletic shoes, and sunscreen.  As regular rehearsals begin, we must maintain our focus and make every rehearsal productive!  We have a lot of drill left to learn; let's get ready to hit the ground running for tomorrow's practice!
