From the Director’s Desk
Happy week 10 and congratulations on a successful first competition! We look forward to many performances this week.
Tonight is our Fall Concert! Please join us for a start time at 7pm. Tickets to the concert are $5.00
Friday @ lunch the band will perform for a lunchtime rally
Friday night is homecoming against Clovis West. The football game is @ Lamonica Stadium. The band will be performing their entire show after the football game.
Saturday is the Golden State Tournament of Bands @ Lamonica Stadium. Thank you to all who have volunteered to help run this event.
5 Weeks till Championships! We now need to start thinking more about season changes, temperature changes, and people staying healthy.
PLEASE - wash your hands, cover your mouth, take your vitamins, do not share drinks with one another, and get as much rest as you can. The last thing we want is to have the band sickness travel through the group leading up to Thanksgiving! Thank you for your diligence with your health.
STANDARD OF THE WEEK
"The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence"
This standard is back for its second week! Now that we have been out to a competition and performed our program to the public, these last 5 weeks of the season will be the most difficult. There are still lots of members who need to become more proficient with their music and their marching.
It gets easy now to coast to Championships. What we look for each year, is a collective group of students who will sprint through the finish line. Once you can play your part and once you can march your drill…
How well can you do it?
How professional can you make it look and sound?
Are we just a high school band? Or are we making the audience ask, “That’s a high school band? WOW!”
Continuing to unify as a team, buying into our values, and applying our standards daily will help us be proud of the product we create at the end of the season. If we have a collective attitude fueled by fire and excellence during every rehearsal, we will grow together, and time will go by quickly.
Homecoming Football Game this Friday
This Friday is our Homecoming Game. Good luck to our Homecoming King Candidate, Baylin Lamee! We will be performing our full-field show after the game. Please join us at Lamonica Stadium.
GSTOB

Have a great rest of your week!
