NOTE:
It is our tradition at Leesville to take competition as a serious level of performance. To do this, we do not talk once we meet at the Buses/Truck before we change. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS. INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE GIVEN IF NEEDED. This helps us focus. Look Good, Sound Good, and Make Common Sense!!! Do that and you will be successful!!! Go for the details – dynamics, phrasing, articulation, balance, pulse, pitch, rolling of feet, upper body posture. Give it your best! Lastly, PLEASE HAVE RIDES READY AND INSTRUCT THEM NOT TO PARK IN THE DRIVE WAY OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL…..that is where we need to off load etc.
