We're excited to start up our summer rehearsals a week from today! If you haven't spent much time outside this summer, please acclimate yourself to the heat this week. Get outside and take a walk, ride a bike, go to the pool, or any other activity that gets you in the sun!
July 4th Practices
Dates
July 1, 2, 3 from 9a-12p at Scioto
Full details for the parade will be released on July 1st. We are first in the parade this year, so we will make it through the parade much quicker this year!
Summer Uniforms
Summer uniforms will be passed out during rehearsal on July 3rd.
Materials — You should have these items with you at every practice
Backpack that you don't mind getting sweaty
Running shoes (absolutely no Crocs, Birkenstocks, sandals, etc.)
A pair of nice running shoes will help you feel great the entire rehearsal. They relieve pressure from your feet and back, make it easier to march with great technique, reduce fatigue, and help you stay healthy throughout the season. Shoes with no support like Converse or Vans are just as bad for your body as marching in sandals.
Breathable athletic clothing
Large water jug with ice
You water jug should hold at least 40oz of water. Something like this is cheap, will last all season, and can carry all the ice/water you need!
Sunscreen — keep it in your field bag at all times
3 ring binder with plastic sheets and the following pieces of music. All of the music is in the password protected page on the "Members" tab. The password is in the email.
This is My Country (in the stand tunes folder)
Star Spangled Banner (in the stand tunes folder)
At the Midnight Hour Part 2
At the Midnight Hour Part 4
