The timeline for our Arts & Apples performance on Friday, September 5th, is now available! Please visit the Documents section of our website for details.
The Timeline for Thursday's home football game versus Adams HS has been posted! Please see the Documents section of this website for further information.
Attention all HS Band Students: We need YOU! Yes, YOU! Do you need community service hours/points for NHS? Key Club? Scouts? Or are you interested in working with Hart MS Band students? Perhaps you would like to help new students better learn how to play an instrument? Then you should sign-up to become a SCHS Band Mentor in our Community Service Lessons Program! Back by extremely popular demand, we are looking for HS Students who are willing to teach 30 min lessons on their primary instruments to Hart MS students. If you sign-up, it means you are willing to make yourself available to teach at least one 30 min lesson a week. (You do not need to teach more than one a week, but if you are interested in multiple students, you are welcome to take as many as your schedule/time commitments allow.) The list of contact information compiled from this form will be distributed to Hart MS early in the school year so that they can begin setting up their lessons with you. The SCHS Band Mentors who signed up last year helped make this program very successful, and it would be great to have even more students in the program for this year. Let's see just how many students we can help! If you are interested in signing up as a SCHS Band Mentor for a Hart MS Band student, please fill out the Google Form below. Many of you may have noticed a new video trend happening online in order to raise awareness of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. The video, called the "Ice Bucket Challenge," requires those being challenged to create a video of themselves being doused by a bucket of ice cold water to "wake up" and raise awareness of this medical condition. The video is then posted online and those who complete the challenge then pass it along, challenging others to do the same. Junior Drum Major, Matt Vervinck, having just completed his own video, recently posed the challenge to the rest of the SCHS Marching Band. If you are interested in helping us participate and raise awareness, we could certainly use your help to make our SCHS MB Ice Bucket Challenge Video a reality!
Those interested in completing the Ice Bucket Challenge along with other members of the SCHS MB should plan on getting wet at the end of Wednesday night's rehearsal, August 20th. Participating in this challenge/video is COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY. If you would like to be in the video, be sure to wear dark clothing and bring a towel for yourself for afterward. Also, make sure you do not have anything on your person that you would not want to get wet (i.e. jewelry, watches, electronics in pockets, etc.) If you have any spare change, a dollar, etc. that you might be willing to donate as well, we will pool all the donations and make a collective gift from the SCHS Marching Band. We will also need a number of parents/alumni who might be willing to help dump the ice water onto our SCHS MB participating members. If there are any parents/friends/family members who might be willing to help fill buckets/dump water, please let me know. We will look to use either the stadium stands/field or the stands/field on the grass field so that those who are dumping the water will have plenty of height. Rehearsal will end at 9pm, so volunteers for water dumping should arrive around 8:45pm. Upon completion, the video will be posted on our band Facebook group page, along with the challenge to others. Again, participating in this is completely voluntary and is all done in the name of fun while raising awareness for a great cause. Below, find a video of the drill for RockArt. Students, it is my hope that you will both enjoy taking a look at the drill from above, as well as find this helpful in marching your coordinates. Enjoy! The countdown is on and band camp is right around the corner! Here are a few reminders to go over while finishing up your packing...
