Ram Band Update: 2010-2011 School Year Begins!!!

To Everyone:

 

The 2010 Band Camp was a success!  The entire staff was very proud of all the hard work each and every student put forth despite all the obstacles this year’s schedule and Mother Nature dealt.  I trust everyone got plenty of sleep this weekend. 

 

This week in Ram Band Land:

  1. School Resumes TOMORROW:  I’m excited to start the new school year and continue all our hard work from Band Camp.  Just a reminder that band meets 12th period each day and you must have proper marching attire each and every day.  You may change from pants to shorts; but it must be done as fast as possible and on your way to band.  Once you arrive in the band room, you are there.  Attendance will be taken 2 minutes after the bell rings; which means you are: IN YOUR SEAT and READY TO GO.  Anyone arriving after the 2 minute grace period will be counted as tardy and marked in Progressbook accordingly.
  2. Thursday Night Sectionals/Rehearsals begin NEXT WEEK.  Sectionals begin at 6PM with attendance reported to Mr. Herrmann by 6:05PM.  Band is a co-curricular; therefore all in-school and after school events are mandatory and directly effect your grade.  To receive full credit, you must be present throughout all of sectionals and rehearsal. Any and all absences or tardies fall under the Attendance section of the 2010-2011 Handbook.  Athletes must report any conflicts prior to the end of school Thursday.  It is the students’ responsibility to communicate clearly with their band directors and coaches.
  3. Ram Band Fan Night – This Friday - August 13 – is officially postponed.  It has been marked on your calendar for this Friday and next, Aug. 20.  Details for next Friday are forthcoming.  To be clear: All Ram Band, Aries Guard, and Ramettes are FREE this Friday night.

 

Special Note: You should expect to receive a Ram Band Update each Monday or Tuesday with the week’s events and schedule.  Please read carefully.

 

Again, great job to all our students for their hard work and special thanks to our parents and counselors for their support throughout camp.

 

GO RAMS!!!

 

Mr. Herrmann
