Hi Everyone,

Busy...busy...busy...

I hope all of you had a great long weekend and you are rested up to begin another event filled week.

CONCERT BANDS

You have sectional practice tomorrow right after school. Please check the school fusion page for specific information.

This Thursday, February 23, there is a Pre-Festival concert at 7:30 pm in the auditorium. This concert is an opportunity for the students to practice their music pieces before they perform before the judges at Libery High School on March 2 & 3.

WINTER GUARD

Winter guard performed their Stop and Smell the Flowers show at Broad Run Saturday and came in 8th place out of 14 schools. Their score was a 57 which was a 6 point improvement over their last competition.

Practice for this week will be Tuesday and Wednesday from 4:30-6:30, Thursday 4:30-6:30, and Friday 5:00-9:00 at Woodbridge Middle School. The Thursday practice is a sectional for those individuals using the rifle and sabre in the performance.

A big thanks to the pit crew for all of their assistance during the show setting up the props. You guys are awesome!!

DRUMLINE

Drumline performed their Black and White show at Broad Run on Saturday as well and came in 3rd place out of 11 schools. The drumline scored high enough at their first competition to be moved up to a higher division. Well done drumline for your 3rd place award in your new division.

Practice for this week is on Wednesday beginning at 6:30 pm. Please be sure you read your email from Mr. Walker as he has given you homework.

Thank you parents for helping with the props/sideline equipment. The day would not be a succesful as it was without you.

MARCH 24 COMPETITION

Our hosting debut is fast approaching and in order for this day to be a success, we are asking for everyone's help. The link below will take you directly to the sign up page. You can look over the slots that are still available and in need of workers and you pick where you would like volunteer. We can't do this without you. STUDENTS...please sign up for either the host or runner positions.

If forms and payments are not turned in by that date, you will not be able to join us on this trip. We need to give the Kings Dominion Rep enough time to mail us the tickets.

February 12, 2012

Good morning Everyone,

We had an exciting weekend. Our drumline had their first competition at Thomas Jefferson High School and was awarded 1st place in their division with a score of 84.5. Not only did they win first place in their division, their score was the highest score received for the entire competition. Excellent job drumline!!

The next competition for drumline and winter guard is February 18 at Broad Run High School. The drumline will perform at 10:09 am and the winter guard is performning at 4:54 pm; unless an updated schedule is distributed later this week that will alter these times. Please come out and show your support in both of these groups; I know the students will appreciate it. The address for Broad Run is 21670 Ashburn Road, Ashburn, VA 20147.

We still need volunteers to sign up for our competition...this includes students. In talking with a parent volunteer at TJ yesterday, she stated they had 75 parent/student volunteers in order to make their day a success. We really need your help on March 24 for our competition. I know many of you would be happy with being placed at any location a volunteer is needed, but I really need you to sign up for something. I am attaching the sign up genius link so you can easily view the areas that are still available.

Students, please sign up for runners or hosting a school. We will place with the schools that are available on the day of the competition.

Practice for drumline and guard will be as normally scheduled; however, guard will practice at Woodbridge Middle School on Friday from 5:30-9:00. Drumline's report time for Saturday will be distributed to you by Ms. Wohlrab and Guard's report time for Saturday will be provided to you by Dr. Lowther during a practice this week.

Thank you and have a great week.
