Stay Informed! Get On REMIND…

Make sure you are on REMIND, and the correct Remind! There are limits to how many people can be in a single Remind group, so we have two different groups: one for students and one for parents. Most of the messaging will be duplicated, but occasionally we may tailor messages to the right audience. Check carefully: you MAY be signed up for an old Remind (2020 Winter Drumline, Color Guard, 2019 Marching Band, etc). These are the correct signup codes for the new 2020 Marching Band groups:

Students: @864kbh
Parents: @f2748f

You can log in to remind.com on a computer, or download the mobile app and signup, or if you don’t want to mess with any of that you can just get text messages to your phone with no other hassle. To sign up for app-less text messages, simply create a New message, with 81010 as the recipient, and enter the appropriate @xxxxxx code from above as the message. The Remind system will auto-respond to you with a confirmation, and your phone number will be signed up for that group (note: to be sure we have enough space for everyone who should be in the groups, this needs to be for current students and parents only).

Put the Props and Pit in the band room.  Do not change!  Go to the Café to watch the video then change and go home.

Stay in uniform until we watch the half time video:  Watch the Video:  Set our minds on making it better!!!!

Pack instruments and uniforms.  You have to hand your uniform to a uniform person to be checked.  You cannot leave until they dismiss you by telling you that you did it correctly.

We cannot give you an ETA to release the kids to go home as we are not able to know when the game will end.  We generally have 45 mins – 1 hour after the game has ended to take the equipment back, pack, review the half time video and change out of uniforms. As this is our first game we appreciate your patience while our new kids learn our process.

Go Home.  Celebrate.  Sleep in on Saturday.  Rest, practice and be ready next week.

  • Schedule for next Friday, Oct 9th Practice.

Friday/Oct 9   Rehearsal 8am – noon: Bring water and a snack.

Call time for the Football Game – 4:30 pm!
