Hello Band Families,
October is here and as I told someone just the other day if it’s October, I’m busy on Saturdays. Only band parents get that I guess because I got a look like I had three heads. If you ask me, the best thing about fall besides Pumpkin Lattes is that it’s marching season. I love going to competitions and seeing what all the other bands have been up to. Sitting with other band parents, either from your school or not, and listening to them cheer for each and every band's performance is just the best. We all know that all these kids have so much talent and work so hard that no matter what school they march for, it’s exciting to see the result of all that hard work. Of course, I think ours is the best, but I might be a little biased. This is a busy week for us as we have a football game on Friday night and the SMN Marching Show on Saturday. I’ll send out that itinerary on Monday. Pay close attention to your emails and calendar as they will have most of the information you are looking for. REMINDERS

Hello Band Families,
BOA is finally here and the band is looking fantastic. The performance at the District Showcase was so good. When the band began, I heard several people in the stands by me say, “Oh, wow. They’re good!”. It’s so exciting to hear how other non-BVSW parents react when they see our band perform. I mean, I know they are amazing, but hearing it from other school parents is so validating!! Our first local show is on Saturday, Oct. 5 at Blue Springs High School. Information coming soon. The students need to be in the band room by 8:30. All you need to bring to the competition is possibly bleacher seats and foldable chairs if you want to go hang out in the band crash area with the other parents. We will feed your student so don't worry about food and drink for them. When I get to the show, I will send a remind to let everyone know the general area people are sitting in. It’s really impactful to have a loud audience cheering the band on so let’s try to sit together if we can. REMINDERS

UNIFORMS- Students have been told to notify their instructors if there are any uniform issues. Because of our fantastic choreography, there have been several pants blowouts (an extra reason to wear BLACK compression shorts). We will repair these, but only if we know about them in a timely manner before a show! If your student has mentioned a wardrobe malfunction, please encourage him/her to let Mr. Lesando or Ms. Bock know. NEXT WEEK IN BAND Sat Oct 5 Blue Springs Golden Regiment Marching Invitational Report to band room at 8:30 am Blue Springs High School 2000 NW Ashton Dr, Blue Springs, MO 64015, United States (map) Have a great week, Shelbe Krone BVSW Band Boosters President |
