First Rehearsal Reminders!


We are ready for a fabulous first-rehearsal of the 2016 District 99 Honors Band!

Important reminders for tomorrow morning ...

  • We are taking our group photograph tomorrow. You should arrive wearing black dress pants, black dress shoes, and a black t-shirt. You will receive your tour jersey when you arrive, and that jersey will be worn over your black t-shirt for the photo.
  • In addition to the tour jersey(s), students will find name cards, passport holders, and D99 Soccer Ball/Cowbells on their chairs. More explanation about each of these items will be shared as rehearsal begins.  
  • Don't forget to bring your black music binder with all music.
  • Make sure you bring a PENCIL with you to mark your music during rehearsals this week.
  • The rehearsal is in the DGN Band Room (142).  Drop off or park in the Main Street lot.  Walk across the street and enter DGN through the arch.  Turn right as you enter the building and follow signs to Fine Arts.
  • We ask all students arrive no later than 8:45 AM so they have plenty of time to find their seats, set up their instruments, and warm up appropriately.  Percussionists will find that much of their equipment has been pre-set, but select instruments will still need to be assembled for rehearsal. 
  • All students should consider bringing a refillable water bottle with them to rehearsal.  Please have your name on your bottle.  Water is the only consumable allowed in the band room.  Please finish all other food/beverages before entering the rehearsal space.

We are eager to make music with you tomorrow!
