We're approaching the end of our formal "marching season" as we get ready for the Northeast Regional Marching Contest in Skiatook! The band has been working long, hard hours the past several weeks and months, and they had a great pre-regionals performance at the Cleveland Invitational last Saturday.
As we go into the week of Regionals, there are a few things everyone should be aware of:
Fall Break
Dewey Public Schools will not be in session this Thursday and Friday, and as such we have no formal rehearsals until Monday. It is VERY important that every single student takes their instrument home over the break and spend some time practicing the music they will be performing next Tuesday. We can't afford to spend a huge amount of time on Monday relearning parts of the show that were forgotten over the weekend.
Rehearsal Monday at 4:00 PM
On Monday, Oct. 19, we will have a full rehearsal after school from 4:00 to 6:00 PM for final preparations before our performance. We need everyone there so we can be sure the show is running the way it will go on Tuesday morning.
Schedule for Tuesday
Dewey is the 2nd band to perform on Tuesday morning in Skiatook, with our performance time being at 8:12 AM. This means a very early departure time to arrive for our designated check-in and warm up slots. Call time in the band room is 6:00 AM, with departure by 6:30 AM. We will be gone for the duration of the school day, returning at approximately 3:00 PM. For down time during the day, all students need their band t-shirts and blue jeans so we can maintain a uniform appearance. An itinerary with all the necessary information has been posted for download on the "HS Band" page of this website.
We're looking forward to a fantastic culmination of our 2015 marching season at Dewey High School - See you all soon!
