September 16 - September 21
Good afternoon Band family,
Congratulations to everyone on getting 2 football game performances out on the field. Our halftime homecoming performance was very solid and something to be proud of walking away from. There are already so many musical moments that are really sounding great. Those musical impacts are going to be a great time for us to spotlight the Loara band and its legacy of musical excellence. Overall, the sound of the group is consistently developing in the right direction each day. That usually means more of us are getting the music under our fingers and pretty soon we’ll have everyone contributing for a big full sound. Visually, forms are starting to take shape and the visuals we do have complement the music exactly as expected. There are a few holds that will need visuals added but we’ll be taking time over the next couple weeks to add those and begin cleaning and polishing these first 2 movements. We still have our last movement to get on the field so there is still work to be done, but I’m very happy with where we are at so far.
This week is a calmer week. No performances, but we do have a Saturday rehearsal at our usual 8-12pm time. We are anticipating adding many more visuals this day so it’s important to be there, as to not get behind. Although attendance has improved in the last couple of weeks, tardiness has not. With the majority of our rehearsals happening during zero period, being able to start on time is something that will make or break our productivity. The Loara Bands legacy of excellence has always come down to the group's ability to check-in and remain sedulous at every rehearsal. Let’s make it a goal to get everyone on Mondays 7:30am downbeat.
Here’s a weekly breakdown
M - 0 period
T - 0 period / after school field
W - 0 period
Th - 0 period
F - 0 period
Sat - Rehearsal 8-12pm
