The early part of any season is tricky. The two tunes that NEED to be good are the National Anthem (which is always #1) and the Fight Song (which must be memorized). If you perform these tunes well, you are a good band. If not, they are looking for a new director. So the first two weeks of school have been dedicated to bring the group up to speed on those two tunes primarily. Add to the list the Alma Mater, Funky Town, Low Rider, and a short list of short tunes and you've got a show. As the year goes on, we'll ramp it up. But for now, a few good tunes.
We'll also be missing about 5 wind and brass players (Arg, sports!) so we'll be relying on our keyboards to project some melody. Arrival time on Friday is 6:00PM for a 6:55 National Anthem.
Dress is shorts or pants and a BLACK BK shirt. We need to get a polos ordered again this year. Any volunteers to arrange the Spirit Store again?
