Practice 11/4/20 and Remaining Schedule

Good Afternoon Tiger Band Family!

Marching Band practice will take place outside at our stadium this evening (11/04/20) from 6:00-8:00 pm. This will be for all band members (musicians and band fronts). Please bring everything you need (instruments, music, PPE, warm clothes, etc.).
Students: Please remember to close the tab after you submit your Covid Temperature Form immediately after you click submit! Thank you very much!


We have fixed our Remind App Account! This will allow us to send text messages to band members and their families regarding practices and events. It is important to join in case there are ever last minute changes due to weather. Due to the class size limitations from the software, there are two groups that will receive the same message. One is for students in the band and one is for parents and guardians. Please join the correct class while you are reading this. Please use your full name if prompted to enter it. This is a new account from last year, so everyone need to join again.


Students: Text @aimb21s to the number 81010

Parents & Guardians: text @aimb21pg to the number 81010

Band Practice Tonight 11/2/20

Good Afternoon,

11/2/20: Tonight, Band Fronts will rehearse and continue with auditions from 6:00-8:00 pm. They will be inside the building utilizing the gyms. Please enter through the band room door at the front of the school.

Practice is cancelled for all playing members (aka musicians). So, no brass, woodwind (includes flutes), or percussion students should report to school tonight. This is due to the fact that we cannot rehearse indoors with band instruments. Between the wind and cold temperatures tonight, we do not want to attempt to rehearse outside. Please spend about an hour practicing at home. If you don’t have an instrument study your music and figure out your finger positions. Focus on Bad Romance, Give Me Everything Tonight, and Olympic Spirit.

We will still plan on having a full band practice Wednesday (11/4/20) from 6:00-8:00 pm at the football stadium.

The football game is away this week, so the band will not be participating in the event.

Our last two home football games will be Friday 11/13/20 and 11/20/20.
Please contact me with any questions.
