The Cougar Marching Band has once again been selected by the Detroit Red Wings as a featured ensemble for their 2014-2015 season! We just received word from the Detroit Red Wings that our confirmed date to perform at Joe Louis Arena will be on Saturday, October 11th (vs. Anaheim). Our Google Calendar and Marching Band Schedule in the documents section have been updated to reflect this date announcement. The game is scheduled for a 7:00pm start at the moment, so we will tentatively plan to start performing at 6:00pm that evening. Once these times are confirmed by the Red Wings, an official Timeline for the evening will be announced.
Be sure to mark your calendars now for this great event! Last year, this event helped us to raise over $2800. With this prime game date/time, we hope to raise even more, as well as enjoy performing for an even larger audience! More details will be announced as they become confirmed. As another step towards faster communication in as many possible mediums, a Twitter account has been set up for the SCHS Bands program. Feel free to follow us: @SCHSBands !
The date for MSBOA Marching Band Festival has changed to Tuesday, October 7th (previously Wednesday, October 8th). Due to this change, our rehearsal schedule for the week has also been altered: we will NOT rehearse the morning of Wed., October 8th. Instead, we will rehearse the morning of Thursday, October 9th. Please see the calendar for further details.
Finals are over, check-out is complete, and we had a great trip at Cedar Point this past weekend; it all means that Marching Band Mini-Camp is upon us! This year's mini-camp will meet from 5:00-9:00pm on Monday 6/16, Tuesday 6/17, Wednesday 6/18, and Thursday, 6/19.
New Marchers, Section Leaders, & Drum Majors will need to report at 5pm each day. We will meet in the band room tomorrow to start before heading out to work on marching basics. Everyone else will join at 7:00pm each evening. We'll once again start out in the band room before starting the evening's activities each night. Everyone needs to make sure you:
Pictures for the football programs will be taken on Tuesday, 6/17 at 7:00pm. You will need to make sure you have your marching shoes & black socks. Uniforms will be assigned/distributed throughout mini-camp on Monday and the first portion on Tuesday. Our Band Camp parent meeting will be held on Thursday, 6/19 at 8:00pm in the auditorium. This meeting, for parents of marching band students only, will go on concurrently with the end of mini-camp for marching band students. Both the meeting and mini-camp will conclude at 9:00pm on Thursday. I am very excited to announce that the SCHS Bands have a new webspace to call home! It is my hope that this new website will not only serve as a easier way to communicate (particularly for those who prefer to not use Facebook), as well as highlight some of the great things happening in our band program. If you click around, you'll find a number of different pages to help you stay up-to-date and in-the-know, as well as celebrate some great musical and life experiences.
