This past week the WDMB had great rehearsals. We had our first rehearsal with 100% attendance! Let’s keep that going! WE finished learning the finale to our show. everything is coming together very nicely.
This week we have a few items that will prepare us for this week’s debut performance.
UNIFORMS
This past weekend we were able to get every fit for their jackets. This Wednesday we will get everyone fitted in their pants. Wee asking all musicians to arrive at 5pm for fitting, rehearsal will follow.
Color uniforms are expected to arrive very soon. These are custom made. We took everyone’s measurements in the summer, so we expect a perfect fit when they arrive. Once we see the uniforms, we will decide on the shoes for the color guard.
THIS WEEK – HELP NEEDED!!!
PROP BUILD - This Wednesday night we can use hands to help with our prop build. If you have the time, please come out. We need to complete these asap to allow the band to rehearse with them. If you can, please come out Wednesday night 6p-9p. Bring any on the following: screw gun, pencils, tape measure, and/or speed square. We will be working assembly line style to knock these amazing props out. THANK YOU!
Concession Stand - The Concession Stand is the place to be during Friday Night Lights! Whether you want to help prepare food, work the counter, be the cashier or help clean up, there are lots of ways to help.
A few important notes about volunteering at the stand:
- The Stand will open on Friday at 5:30 pm for prep. All help is appreciated, even if you can only give an hour. If all the slots are filled, please come to help. The number of slots available is the minimum number of people we need to staff the stand.
- Due to health code requirements, anyone working at the stand must wear a hat or a hairnet (hairnets are available in the stand or bring a hat). Gloves are also required and will be provided.
- We will have a sign in sheet at the door. Please sign in when you arrive!
- If you are coming to watch the football game and are not working, you may not enter through the stand. You must buy a ticket at the gate. This also goes for children who want to watch the game. Please purchase a ticket for them.
- Due to safety concerns, we cannot have small children in the stand. There are a lot of people there working, there is hot food, and hot drinks where they can get hurt.
