Indoor Percussion Season

2020-03-13T09:51:50-07:00

This is the hardest email I’ve ever had to compose. Given the escalating concern around COVID-19, WGAZ has decided to follow suit with several other state circuits and cancel the remainder of the season. I am absolutely heartbroken by this. But it will not break us. We still have the planned showcase performance on 3/26, and our district site tour on 3/25. If the district doesn’t allow us to have these performances, then we will postpone them, not cancel. We have created something amazing at SHS. Our program has exceeded all expectations, and I would hate for us to not have [...]

Indoor Percussion Update 03/08

2020-03-13T09:50:31-07:00

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! Yesterday was a LONG day and I appreciate everyone’s hard work from start to finish. This season, we started out as Regional A and were promoted to A-Local in the WGAZ circuit after our first show. Then yesterday at WGI we were the only group to make finals from WGAZ A-Local division (all other groups in finals were A-National groups)! This group continues to exceed my expectations and our progress has been amazing. Yesterday making finals was a win for us. Since all the groups that scored higher than us are in a different WGAZ competing class, [...]

Hello all, PROPS Tomorrow we will be building the tree props behind the band room @ 9:00. Mr. Allen has done a lot of work on them already, including all of he preparatory cuts necessary.

UNIFORMS We have fitted everyone in our uniforms, and need a few parents to show up with irons and ironing boards on Monday evening to help hem pants. I think the easiest way is to just use a [...]
