Let’s have a great week and put on a GREAT performance Thursday afternoon We will be wearing our summer uniforms with khakis for the performance During Souderton’s performance, we will stand in a relaxed parade rest, please cheer LOUDLY for their band at the appropriate moments.
Remember when you are in uniform, you are in PERFORMANCE. You represent your school, and your community. Please be on your best behavior and be respectful at ALL TIMES. We ask that you only use your cell phones in the stands for MUSIC READING purposes only!!! Your student leaders will explain performance etiquette to you this week.
STUDENTS – Please look over all of your show, pregame, and stand music, especially the Star- Spangled Banner. Start taking a hard look at “Fix You” as we will begin to learn that next week. We are less than 2 weeks from Marching at the Rock and we need to sound our best. I am very proud of the progress being made this year. We still have a long journey ahead of us. Keep working like you do every day, and we will get there.
