Weekly Update

Thank you to all of our students, student officers, and parent volunteers who all helped to make Band Camp 2019 a success! The students accomplished a lot and we’re off to a great start of the season. We hope to see you at our Family Night Pre-Season Performance this Thursday at 8:00pm in the stadium. 
 
Congratulations to our Marchers of the Week: Carly Gonzalez (woodwind), Danilo Andrade (brass), Ray Patterson (percussion), Samantha Mugavero (auxiliary), and Anthony Bonet (officer). We want to recognize Derek Devlin, who was last week’s officer of the week. We accidentally left him off last week’s update. Congratulations to our Section of the Week, the Mellophone Section led by section leaders Jayden Aimaro and Austin Sweigart! These students will be posted on the band website every week at: https://www.prhsbands.org/2019-2020-info.html.
 
The Marching Pride will be performing at the Pep Rally on the first day of school at 1:25pm. Band students will wear this year’s white band t-shirt and auxiliary will wear this year’s black band t-shirt to perform. Friday is our first football game of the season! See below for more details.

Marching Pride Order Forms & Payments (Past due): This weekend we placed our second order for marching band shoes, garment bags, gloves, auxiliary shoes, tights, earrings, duffle bags, and pirouettes. If you have not turned in your order form and/or payments that were due at the Kick-Off Meeting, please do so at your earliest convenience. This is the last week for any late orders. If your order is not placed by the end of this week, you will be responsible for ordering your own shoes, which will be more costly.
 
 
Required Forms & Physical (Due Tues. 8/13): Forms can be found at: https://www.prhsbands.org/uploads/1/0/7/8/107847845/required_band_forms.pdf. These forms are extremely important, please do not delay on turning these in! The hard deadline for these forms is Tuesday, August 13th at 2:05pm. Students will not be allowed to after school rehearsals or performances without their forms. The only exception is made for physicals. If your student cannot complete the physical by this Tuesday, please email Mrs. Robinson the date for when the physical is scheduled.
 
 
Pep Rally (Tues. 8/13): PRHS is having a pep rally for the first day of school. All Marching Pride students are performing. The pep rally is scheduled at 1:25pm. All Marching Pride students will be dismissed from their 7th period class at 1:10pm—pending teacher permission. (Your 7th period teacher does not need to dismiss you. If your teacher asks you to stay till the bell, you can catch up with us in the gym.) When you are dismissed from class, promptly report to the band room to get your instrument/poms and line up outside in “lance.” All band students must wear this year’s white band t-shirt to perform and all auxiliary students must wear this year’s black band t-shirt to perform. You don’t have to wear the t-shirt to school, but you do have to wear the t-shirt in order to perform at the Pep Rally.
