Hello Hanna Band Family,
We have finally received final details for the contest on November 7th. This will be a wonderful chance for our students to showcase their hard work in front of a crowd other than our home football crowd. This is also a great chance for our new students and new parents to learn what a competition day feels like. On competition days, the following things happen in this order:
*we rehearse early in the day
*we load the trucks before dismissing for lunch
*dismiss the students so they can eat/shower/change for the contest
*return to the school at a designated time
*depart for the contest
*have a great time performing
*leave after the awards ceremony
*arrive back at the high school and unload
*meet and dismiss
Here is our itinerary for the Carolina Festival of Bands.
