RED WINGS last minute change

10/31/2018

0 Comments

 
Weather forecast looks very wet and rainy all day tomorrow (Thursday Nov 1) especially during the time we are supposed to perform.  Therefore, I decided today that we will NOT perform at the LCA as originally planned  as they have no indoor option for us.  It's a bit of a bummer but nobody wants to get drenched performing or as a spectator.  

THIS PROMPTED ME TO MAKE A LOAD/LEAVE TIME CHANGE - we will now be loading and leaving at 5:30 pm instead of 5 pm.  No reason to leave so early if we aren't going to load any instruments, unload, warm up, prep, and perform.  

I will tell everyone in band class tomorrow as well.   I will distribute tickets to the band kids when we arrive at the LCA.  The plan is still to leave between the 2nd and 3rd period.  

ALSO:  I got a call from Andy Greene's mom today.  He has personally put a thank you to the Trenton HS Band for us on the jumbotron scoreboard during the game!  Look for it!

Red Wings update

10/30/2018

0 Comments

 
The forecast for Thursday evening when we are scheduled to perform is for rain.  Unfortunately, I was just told by the Red Wings that there is no possibility to move a performance indoors.  While I won't make a decision until Thursday, if it's legitimately raining, we will NOT perform at all and will just go to the game.  Nobody wants to stand in the rain to watch a band nor does anyone want to perform in the rain.  If it's weather like at Cedar Point when we performed, we will still perform as that wasn't too bad.  However, if it's actually RAIN and then we would have to go inside an ice rink for a few hours wet and cold, I'm not going to do that to the parents, fans, and especially the kids.  Stay tuned - decision will be made on Thursday.

CP dress and CONCERT DATE

10/25/2018

0 Comments

 
Cedar Point:  Dress warm and prepared (supposed to be low 50s and occasional showers); wear show shirt - we may be able to perform in them if the weather holds at noon.  Jeans, any pants are fine.  Athletic shoes ok.  However, bring a jacket/coat/varsity jacket - if it's too cold to go just tshirts to perform (I bet it will be too cold), we will just wear street clothes and coats over show shirts.  

ALSO:  Our first trimester concert is on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5.  It was scheduled months ago to be on a different date but we were bumped off of it due to other use of the auditorium.  November 5 at 7 pm is our concert!   Band, chorus, jazz combo

Great season and great Homecoming

10/15/2018

0 Comments

 
While we aren't quite done with the marching activity yet, the field season is most likely over.  Trenton will make the Oct 26 playoffs but most likely on the road if they would win even the first two games.  We still have Cedar Point and the Red Wings this trimester plus the Christmas Parade on Sat, Dec. 1 as well as the final in-concert performance of Guys and Dolls at the Monday, Nov 5 concert @ 7pm   

Homecoming was a bit wet and cold but nothing we couldn't overcome.  Here's my favorite photo of that night - it's what we do in the THS Band....nice work, Max!

Rain or shine!  Homecoming here we come!

10/12/2018

There's a chance of showers tonight for Homecoming.  It's also going to be a little chilly.  PREP FOR THE WEATHER!  We are still going to be in full uniforms with full pit and will do everything as planned.  Forecasts don't say "RAIN" - they say a chance of showers.  We aren't afraid of a few showers - the show must go on!  : )

Great performance at Wyandotte Downriver Fanfare

10/2/2018

0 Comments

 
I'm very proud of how much this band has worked.  As we wind down the marching season, it's always fun to see the kids happy about a performance.  They earned first place Class B, Best Music, and Best Auxiliary (Guard) awards but more than that, they know they did their very best and that hard work results in great things.  Congrats, kids.
