Friday Morning Rehearsal/Drill Team Information
Each week on game days, we will rehearse in the STADIUM. The Eaglettes will also join us on this day. This is especially important to note because ALL woodwinds, brass and drumline students must remember to bring their flip folder stuffed with this week’s drill team tune (which happens to be Feel It Still again).
Pep Rally

Once rehearsal concludes in the morning, students will meet in inspection lines in the band hall wearing their Water’s Edge Show Shirt (and their choice of school appropriate bottoms) along with their instrument, lyre and flip folder. We will warm-up together and then head to the large gym. Students will be blocked for 0 hour and 1st period.

Richardson vs Samuell (HOME)
The second football game of the year is this Friday, September 6th and its an HOME game again! As always, full details can be found on the Official Band Calendar at www.richardsonband.org.
When the bell rings to release school, dinner will be served in the Eagles Nest. Please note that this is only for those who signed up for the Football Game Meal Plan. It will be a fast turn around, so you must move quickly! The schedule for the night is below. Please note that we’ll be wearing the Summer Uniform this week.
