Guard Beach Trip--with only 1/3 of Tigs signing on to participate we did not have enough interest to move forward with a beach trip this year. Girls will be given back their money at the end of the day today so parents make sure you watch for those cash envelopes. Also EVERYONE...make sure you check out and note the updated Summer Guard Camp Schedule below.
Band Spring Concert---Thursday, May 9th---Required!!!
Band Banquet---required!! Band Banquet on May 11th is a required event for all Tigerettes 6-12. $15 tickets are now on sale in the bandroom. Church or party dresses are appropriate to wear. The event will be held at Oak Grove 1st Baptist Church Family Life Center for Band Members, Tigerettes, & Parents only...no siblings/no friends. Time TBA. We will recognize Seniors, review accomplishments for the year, announce leadership for next year, and of course announce our show plan for Fall 2013!!
Guard Spring Clinic--required!! Tigerettes Grades 6-11 will participate in a Guard Clinic during their regularly scheduled band class every day during the week of May 13-17th. The clinic is required and girls MUST have a doctor's excuse to miss any band class scheduled that week. Girls will need to be prepared daily to change quickly into a t-shirt and shorts in the guard room. Athletic shoes (no dance shoes, no converse, no vans) are required for the class. Girls must bring a bottle of water with them each day, and pending weather issues may need sunglasses and sunscreen for outside. Tigs who forget practice clothes, shoes, etc. will not participate and their failure to participate will be considered an unexcused absence. Remember, unexcused absences = suspension from performance...1 performance per U-absence.
We will supply a properly weighted flag & rifle that girls will take home at the end of spring clinic for summer practice. Work will be taught in routine form to a specific song so the girls can easily work on things all summer. We will also provide info/list of requirements for girls interested in trying out for our fall weapons spot during the week...fall weapons tryout will be the first Monday of Summer Guard Camp.
Summer GUARD Camp---REQUIRED---updated May 2nd!!!!
After the success of our 2012 fall marching season and the successes of WGs & IDL during the 2013 winter season...and in response to our experience with a 7 period school day...Mr. Henson, Mr. Adams, Mrs. Hope, and Mrs. McKinney have decided to make some changes to our traditional rehearsal summer and fall rehearsal schedules.
