Practice reminder and ONE CHANGE for 8th Grade
Sorry to have to make a change in the first week, but for THIS WEEK ONLY, the 8th grade practice will be moved to Friday morning from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. All other practice days and times will remain the same...Tuesday morning for 9th and 12th grade, and Thursday morning for 10th and 11th grade. All practices are from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Thank you for your patience as we make everything work! We are looking forward to seeing our freshmen and seniors tomorrow!
BAND PRACTICE FOLLOWUP
To clarify: The June and July practices work just like strength and conditioning for athletics. If students are out of town for any of these, that’s ok! The August rehearsals are mandatory, as always. Let us know if you have questions!
BAND PRACTICES START NEXT WEEK
We all wish our school year hadn’t been cut short, but due to those circumstances, UIL has released guidance for offering marching band practices in June and July this summer. This is not an opportunity we normally have, so let's make the most of it!
Practices begin next week on the band practice field by the facility. These practices will take place weekly from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the days listed below. These weekly practices will be divided into the following groups:
Tuesdays: 9th and 12th grade
Wednesdays: 8th grade
Thursdays: 10th and 11th grade
**NOTE: The only week these practices will not be offered is July 13-17.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR BAND PRACTICES
--All students must have a physical on file with Sundown ISD. If you had one for the 2019-2020 school year, you may come to the practices in June and July. If not, you will need to have one before attending and bring the paperwork with you.
--For now, all practices will take place on the band practice field by the facility. We will not be practicing with instruments until further notice, so students should not need to enter the building. However, if a student would like to take an instrument home to practice, let me know and I will bring it out to the practice field.
--Hand sanitizer will be available.
--Social distancing will be observed during practices as students will be 15 feet apart, exceeding the distance recommended by UIL.
--As recommended by UIL, we will not provide water, food, sunscreen, or other items. Students will need to bring their own water...hydration is important! Sunscreen is also recommended.
--Masks and gloves will be available, or students are welcome to bring their own.
--Students who are not feeling well should not attempt to practice. If a student is experiencing any of the following symptoms, he/she will need to stay home: Fever, shortness of breath, headache, sore throat, diarrhea, chills, shakes, loss of taste or smell, cough
--Students will be pre-screened before they are allowed to practice.
**Side note: For those who like to plan ahead, our usual Summer Band rehearsals will begin on Monday, August 3rd. As always, these rehearsals are mandatory. We will send out more information in July with specifics on these rehearsals.
Thanks for reading this long post! We're excited to have all of this information to share and look forward to seeing everyone soon.
