Please set this aside on TUESDAY night as there is no time for forgetting on WEDNESDAY morning!!! 

We will place these bags on racks in the GREEN Room so you will need to be able to quickly and easily identify your suit bag! Be sure to always have ALL the Uniform on…NEVER just part of it!

EQUIPMENT:

We will need a list from the percussion section as to EVERYTHING we will be using.  Instruments, Folios, etc., will be placed in the bus after our rehearsal 1st period.  Make sure we remove all of our percussion instruments and mutes off stage and back into the trailer after the performance…..also bring extra tuners….. with good batteries……we will need them!

MONEY:

Please bring $5 to Mrs. Colburn by Monday March 20th so that we can purchase pizzas to have for lunch before we leave for MPA. If you do NOT want pizza and plan to bring your own lunch, please let Ms. Colburn know ASAP.  The performance however is FREE and open to the public!!

NOTES:

It is our tradition at Leesville to take competition as a serious level of performance. To do this, we do not talk once we arrive at the busses to unload at Fuquay Varina High School until we are finished with the clinic. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS, INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE GIVEN IF NEEDED…..This helps us FOCUS…… Inform your rides NOT TO PARK where the buses need to load and unload! Good Luck! Do everything you can to Look Good, Sound Good and make Common Sense! You have been working very hard and I hope the results will show that!!!!
