well..Now that Band camp is over....
BY THE WAY......
Now that Band camp is over, you probably understand why we tell you its important to practice! Remeber to study your charts! thats very important!!! The Football Show charts and flag work is VERY easy compared to how hard the Competition show is going to be. Remember:

1-16- Big open
1-16- Rowboat, Flutters, double to RS
1-16- Windmills
1-8- Big Extension Flutters (remember counts 4 and 7 your flag is straight up and down)

1-17- Drops til 4, turn and grab behind 6 and front on 8, 9-12 double fast, toss. dip and pose!
Sorry Ladies if that made no sense at all. I tried. we never really came up with names for everything but the work should be written out in your head.
Remeber that school starts on Friday and we are taking the big Band pictures! SO.....Remember your kahki shorts and your Guard T-shirts (which look absolutly beautiful!)
On Friday I will give you each 10 tickets for our carwash to sell for 6 dollars each. so if you each sell 10 tickets, you will each make 60 dollars plus what ever we have from donations at the carwash! This monay can help you pay for your uniform, shoes, Jackets, or anything else band/guard related! (Also: if you each bring in 60, the guard as a whole will make 900 dollars!!!)
Remind your friends, boyfriends, siblings, grand parents, and parents that we do have our guard shirts on sell. Long sleeved shirts are $15 dollars and the short sleeved ones are $10! so far we've made over $100 dollars on the extra shirts!! and that was just in one night!!!
Please remember everything! I hope you practice and study before school starts! Be careful (Leah! no chasing Ice Cream Trucks!!!)
and don't hurt yourselfs! See you Friday!!

OK guys...Winterguard is simply the ULTIMATE guard experience. its working hard every Friday night and every Saturday for hours on end perfecting a 5 minute show to music that you will perform in front of hundreds of people. you work indoors on a very annoying tarp, you perform barefoot and in uniform using flags rifles and sabres. there is no marching, no band, no drum major, just you, your guard, and the audience. Emma and I got to experience all of this last season with FUEL winterguard. it is an Independent A guard (that means we don't have anything to do with a school, its people from all over) thats High energy and HARD WORK. Our show was called Hallelujah. Here are some pictures from the season:
After winning a sportsmanship award
Shane
Shane and Steph
After winning 3rd at Championships
Valentines Day
Saundra and LEza, our crazy instructors
Tryouts for FUEL will be on Sunday, September 24th from 1 - 5 PM. Location to be announced. The second Tryout date will be Saturday, September 30th from 1-5 PM, location TBA. On Septmber 30th, SDHS Band will be at a competition. so all you girls, I encourage you to PRACTICE EVERYTHING! winterguard is a wonderful time that I want you all to experience. For more Information, you may find FUEL at FUELTASTIC GUARD! or under the Links located on the right side of this page. If you ahve any questions you can ask Emma or me. I hope you girls will seriously consider trying out!!!

We have a lot to cover so read carefully!!
We have a carwash coming up on the 22nd. That's this saturday! It's at the Bilo on John sevier and you need to be there at 9:30 SHARP! It will last until 4:30. I need you girls to really push this carwash. Tell everyone about it!!! We really need to make $500!! If you can, please try to bring sponges, carwash soap (real carwash soap. Dish liquid takes the wax off the cars), and waterhoses. Those of you that were at both carwashes, you've had a total of $47.75 put straight towards your band fees for this year. That includes the $27 from the first carwash, $18.50 from the second, and $2.25 from the donation jars. Most of you haven't been to ANY carwashes, and you only have $2.25 paid on your band fees and that's not good. Remember that you must have paid at least $250 by august 11th or you will be asked to drop marching band.
We will have one more carwash after this one on saturday. It will be August 26th from 9:30 to 4:30 at the Bilo. The people there have helped the guard very much this year and I'm working on a very big thank you.
If you need you schedule changed, you need to bring it to band camp on July 31st, (the 2nd monday) and during Lunch you can walk over to Young Campus with me to have it changed. MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN MARCHING BAND!!!
I'm working on getting a picture of the uniform up. As soon at Mr. Satterfield emails me back we'll have a picture.
Band Camp is next week!!! It starts monday! IT IS MANDATORY! ALL FRESHMEN (Including vanessa) must be there monday morning at 8 AM! Upperclassmen must report any time before 1 PM.

You may bring your own water bottle to band camp. Make sure you drink WATER! coke and other drinks are dehydrating and it will be hard on you to be our in the sun without water! You may wear tank tops. just make sure you wear sunscreen. Sunglasses are also a very good Idea.
well I sure am excited! I hope you girls are too! This year is going to be great! I hope you are drinking a lot of water and working on your basics EVERYDAY! band camp is going to be hard girls!

OK so heres the deal. We ARE having our carwash on the 15th at Wallmart. you need to be there at the regular time, and NO wallmart does NOT take 10% of your profit to pay for water. thats just a rumor. Ryan will go across the street at lunch time and buy pizza so everyone needs to bring 2 dollars. if you can, Bring carwash soap. not dish liquid because it takes the wax off the cars, and your OWN towel to dry off with when we're done. wear sunscreen!!!!!
I've called everyone about the T-shirts. as soon as i hear from Adrienne, Julie, Emma, Kayla D, and Leah I'll be ordering them. so we'll get them pretty soon.
I'm Sorry to announce that we've lost two of our members. the SD guard is now down to 16 girls and I encourage all of you to come to an upperclassmen if you have a problem that you would like to talk about.
