Marching rehearsals Tuesday through Friday, 3:30 - 5:30. On weeks that we have Friday games we will add 30 minutes to the Tuesday and Thursday rehearsals to make up some of the time lost due to the game.
Mondays are our day off for students to schedule appointments. Please try to adhere to this. It is very hard on a student when they have missed a day of learning drill and have to struggle to catch up.
We start marching rehearsals at 3:30 to enable students to do homework and to attend tutorials. Students will be in either a tutorial with a teacher or in the Band Hall doing homework on rehearsal days. A great deal of work can be completed between 2:30 and the start of rehearsal.
