Can you believe it?!? Christmas is in 2 months. Well, I'm not here to write about 2 months from now but I want to write about NOW or should I say this past weekend.
Yes, this past weekend was pretty busy. Friday night, the AHS Band and Colorguard hosted the 7 th & 8th grade band students of Hudson Memorial. On Wednesday evening (10/23/09) these students came to AHS for a marching band and colorguard rehearsal. We worked on FUNdamentas as well as rehearsing "The Hey Song" and "Fight Song"
Friday night, was the culmination of a lot of hard work done by both AHS and HMS. If you look at the pictures there was well over 200 students on the track. The HMS students, from what I heard had a GREAT time. Now, the AHS band and colorguard played very well BUT the focus and discipline of the show was lost that evening. Don't worry, Mr. B infomed the band and colorguard AFTER the show that there was plenty of room for improvement. That was last week - and now it's tme to move on. Our next game is November 6, AHS v. Timberlane, I know that our students will be up for a quality show as this is the traditional Senior Night.
Speaking of Senior Night
I am requesting that all parents of senior band/colorguard members meet on the track (where the band performs) by 6:20 p.m. as introductions of senior band members and parents will begin at 6:30 p.m. If there should be a time change your senior will be notified. I have snail mailed a letter and information sheet. You can also find this informaton on the website for those of you who are totally into being GREEN. Please make certain that I receive this information by November 2, 2009.
