The Tiger Football Team opens the regular season tomorrow evening at Polytech High School in Dover, DE.
Report time for the band is 3:30 pm. Yes, there is a chance of rain and thunderstorms. Everyone should still report to AIHS at 3:30 pm. We will access the weather before we depart for Dover. Please just plan that everything will go on as normal.
We are slated to perform our show (first 2 songs) before the game around 6:40 pm. Kickoff is at 7:00 pm. The Polytech Band will perform the national anthem and their show at halftime.
The band will head home after the game ends. Polytech is approximately 1 hour away. I am guessing that we will be back to AIHS around 10:30-10:45 pm. Students should text their parent/guardian when we depart Dover, then again when we are 15 minutes from the high school.
There is no school on Monday 9/10/18. Marching band practice next week will be on Wednesday from 7:00-9:00 pm. Please refer to my previous blog post for our current schedule.
Mum fundraising forms are due next week. We can take them at practice Wednesday night. No late orders will be accepted as the parents running the fundraiser need to place their order by the end of the week. There is no wiggle room for this.
Sub dinner forms are due next Friday. Please be sure to get them turned in. This event is a great tradition before the first football game. Parents can meet each other and then head out to the football game. Besides, who doesn’t love Casapulla’s Subs?
My cell phone number is 302-598-4114 if any parents need to contact me for emergency situations during band events.
