Weekly Update

11/7/2021

 
Congratulations to the Marching Pride on winning Class 5A and Grand Champion at the Lakewood Ranch Music in Motion Competition. The band won all captions in Class 5A in addition to best overall music, GE, and percussion. The band scored an 81.5, which is the highest they’ve ever scored in competition in the past 8 years! Our Pure Imagination season has finally come to an end, but it’s definitely one that we will never forget. We are so proud of all that our students accomplished this season and look forward to what they have in store for the rest of the school year!
 
The successes of our program are attributed to the efforts of our students, parents, staff, and school administration. If you volunteered to help with concessions, truck crew, or chaperoning, thank you so much for your hard work and time that you gave to our students and program. We’d like to thank our band staff: Anthony Claro, Annamarie Magdaleno, Melissa De La Vega, Shelby Blocker, Lee Dang, Cheyenne Cure, and Mario Mistretta for all their efforts and instruction. A very big thank you to our Band Booster Board: Anthony Rowtie, Caridad Rojas, Eileen Fuentes, Miguel Font, Dana Rowtie, Erika Guerra, Kristian Newton, and Brandon Laboa for all of your help in coordinating parent volunteers and all logistics with transporting the Marching Pride to all of their events. Last but not least, we’re especially thankful for our PRHS Administration. Thank you Dr. Tobin Walcott, Brent Brickzin, Daniel Chouinard, Emily Schaefer, Michal Durik, Lana Costello, Dr. Belynda Williams, Charlie Brown, Kathy Diaz, and Robin Smith. Thank you for all of your help and support with the Marching Pride!

Marching Pride Jacket Orders (Due Mon. 11/16): All orders and payments are due by Monday, November 16th. We are hoping to have the jackets before winter break. Order forms for Marching Pride Jackets are available in the Students tab under "2021-2022 Student Info."
 
Band Picture Day (Tues. 11/9): Band pictures will be on Tuesday, November 9th during class. There is no make-up day, so please do your best to be in class on Tuesday. If you missed registration for picture day and still want to view and/or purchase your band pictures, please email the photographer at MFernandez@PortraitEFX.com to get access. You do not have to complete the registration in order to have your picture taken. On Tuesday, band students should wear clothes that can fit underneath their marching band uniform. Students with long hair are recommended to wear their hair down. Students will need their gloves and instrument, but they do not need their marching band shoes or hats. Auxiliary students will wear their Pure Imagination show uniform. Hair needs to be styled down and they will need show make-up and earrings. Dance students will need their poms, weapon line will need their rifles, and flag line will use their Part 3 flag.
 
Make-up Assignments: Just another reminder, all students will have to request for a make-up assignment for any missed rehearsal and/or performance. More information has been posted on Canvas and Mrs. Robinson explained the process to students several times. Students have one week from their absence to request a make-up assignment. Once the request is received, students will be given 10 days to complete their assignment.
 
Concert Band Attire: (These uniforms are for all band students. This is not for auxiliary. The uniform for jazz band is the same as concert band.) It is each band family’s responsibility to order and purchase these uniforms. All uniforms take at least 2 weeks to be shipped, please do not wait until the last minute. Concert gowns and pants will need to be hemmed, so please take that into consideration when placing your orders. The suggested deadline for this attire is December 6, 2021 for our Winterfest Concerts, but the hard deadline is February 16, 2022 for our Mid-Year Band Concert and District Concert Band MPA. Please contact Mrs. Robinson if you have any questions. Instructions on how to order concert band and jazz band uniforms can be found in the Students tab under "2021-2022 Student Info."
