Mr. Dietrich's Comments

 

First off, thanks to all that helped in my absence over Homecoming, especially Matt Chapman, Dr. Kinney and Aaron Mills. I had a great weekend with my kids and so far my three favorite football teams are all undefeated!!! We are about to enter the meat of our season. The kids have been working hard and we have be adding the special effects and dazzling ideas the last couple of rehearsals. For those of you that have never been to a marching contest, you are in for a real surprise. Our kids have done a great job at home games this year, but contests are a whole new experience. The Band will put on a completely new face and an edge to their performance. You won't believe it's the same group you saw on the blacktop the first week of school. Please make every effort as a parent to attend these shows. Take it from me, your kids won't be kids much longer and you will treasure these times I know I treasure the rememberances of my daughter Abby in Marching Grey Ghosts as does
she. . . Concert Bands will be starting up on Oct. 23 and we will go with two groups again this fall combining Symphonic and Concert Bands for the Holiday Concert only. Jazz Bands will start rehearsing after school the last week of October with Jazz I on Monday, Wednesday, and Jazz II on Tuesday and Thursday. Pep Band will rehearse Fridays after school until the season begins on Nov. 28. And you thought Marching band was busy!!
Thanks for all you do. Thanks for all the help and tremendous support you give to these kids and this program. And remember, CHEER LOUD!!!!

 


Thanks for all you do!!
