Stadium Rehearsals will be at Mercer Stadium. These are scheduled from 4:00 - 8:00 PM, however we will not use all 4 hours to rehearse. By scheduling the block this way it enables to have some flexibility in dealing with weather. If the temperature is reasonable we can start at 4:00 and finish early. If it is hot, we can start later.
Eight Hour Rule: In order to compete in UIL Marching Contest we must limit our rehearsal time to no more than 8 hours per week. Some weeks do have more than 8 hours scheduled to give us flexibility in using the time for that week. We will not ever go over the 8 hours and will trim off time from those rehearsals. Please note that we are allowed a one hour run through prior to a game or contest performance.
Daily Marching Rehearsals: These rehearsals are Tuesday - Friday, except for certain weeks, and will begin at 3:30. Students are expected to use the time from 2:30 until 3:30 to go to tutorials or do homework.
