USSBA
We’re approaching our final two weeks of USSBA competitions with Edison H.S. this week and Sayerville next week. We’ll have a regular rehearsal schedule but with percussion on Tuesday afternoon since Monday evening was cancelled due to the holiday. Tuesday we’ll work on music and on Wednesday and Thursday we’ll clean the drill, work out the music details on the field, and have Lisa and Sarah add some body visuals for the horn line. This is our final two weeks so everyone must be present!For show directions and a complete schedule you can get show info from the USSBA website on the schedule page. Just click on the listed show and date - It will list the entire show schedule and it will have directions at the bottom of the page.
New Recordings
The Band’s LiveScribe pen is back and working. Throughout September their company server was having difficulties so I could not create any “pencasts” but now they’re working fine. We’ll be using the pen in class more now - expect critiques and rhythm tests this week!Announcements

For rehearsals we have a regular schedule with Percussion on Monday, Winds and Guard on Tuesday, and marching band on Wednesday and Thursday.Goals for this week
This wee we need to work on the Fight Song and the Banner. They were poorly performed at last week’s game, so let’s try to get those parts down! Here are some other goals:- New Ain’t No Mountain ending and drill
- Visuals for first half of show
- Fix all horn angles, pops, and body facings
- Get in STEP!

Piscataway Show
The Piscataway show was a great success! I know many of you may have been bummed-out about 5th place, but we’re really exactly where we want to be right now! Everyone performed a great show, and our critiques went really well. We were only 2 points out of first place! I’m sure we’re going to continue improving our show - this will be a great season.This Week in Band
this is a BIG week in band. Friday is Band Day! We’ll be hosting the 7th and 8th grade students at a morning rehearsal for Band Day. We’ll learn The Hey Song and Let’s Go Bees.

It’s sure to be a big day!All band students - be sure to get your permission slips for Friday signed ASAP!
