Note from Mr. Williams

Parents,

I hope that the start of school has gone well for your household! The band has been working very hard through camp and I am very excited about the continued progress we will be making on our show. THANK YOU to Band Parents for the support with water and the concession stand during camp. It is great to have all the help and support for the program. Here are a few reminders for you.

1. 7am rehearsals begin Friday August 26, and will be every "A" Day

2. 6:30am rehearsals begin Monday August 29, and will be every "B" Day (these will end after marching season)

3. Please order Dinkles (www.dinkles.com) ASAP. Students will need these for our first football game September 9.

4. FALL RALLY DATE CHANGE: the Rally is now Tuesday August 30. Call time for students is 4:45pm and the rally begins at 5:30pm. This should not be a long event. Students will need to be in FULL uniform for this event. If you have not gotten dinkles, please wear the blackest shoe you have for the performance.

5. All students need to download the All-State audition packet found on this website ASAP. This is material we will be using in class.

I look forward to all that we will be doing this year as we continue to create great music at Winnetonka!
