Practice Tips
- Be on time, if your child needs to be on the field by 5:30 get them there by 5:15.(Traffic can be a challenge…. Remember 600 are trying to get to the same place you are :)
- When your child says - "But Mr. Pennington said I could keep my spot if I marched in my cast this week," believe him or her
- Find a great carpool … it will make life much easier (and help cut down on that traffic)
- Show up to Monday night rehearsals and watch where your student is marching so you will know where to look for your student at the performances. It’s easier to spot your child on the field in shorts and t-shirt than it is in a band uniform.
- If a band director is trying to help direct traffic, please do not run over them with your car… They have a plan and are trying to help!
- The directors say to be somewhere at a certain time, they mean on the field and ready to roll at that time. Arrive 10-15 min early.
- "To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, to be late is to be left!"
- With these early morning practices, suggest that your child go to bed earlier than normal, to get their MUCH NEEDED REST!
- Even though morning practice is only a couple of hours, they still need to bring water or Gatorade for hydration.
- Make sure your child wears a white t-shirt (or mostly white) to each Monday night practice.
