Game 3 vs. University School

Game 3 is this Saturday at home against University School. This week's show will be our Mass Band show and the eighth graders will be joining us for the second half of the show. We will perform "Separate Ways," "Abdul Feature," and "Livin' on a Prayer," then march back to concert set where the eighth graders will come out and perform "Here It Goes Again" and "Poker Face" along with us. Call time for Saturday will be noon in summer uniform.

Saturday's Uniform, Memorization Checks, and Facebook Group

Saturday's uniform will be summer uniform (white pants, black socks, black shoes, black belt, and band polo) PLUS the rain jacket. Call time is still noon. You can find the full tip sheet here.

Memorization checks are really starting to come along, see the lists posted in the band room to find out what you still need to check off.

We have also started a Facebook group to get information out to students (and some parents) more efficiently. The group is called "The Official Shaker Bands Group." Don't accept any imitators!

Memorization Checks

Also, we now have 73 students who will not be using their flip-folders on Saturday because they have memorized all their music. Many students are close to having the half time show memorized. Remember, we don't want to use flip-folders in front of our home crowd, so let's get everything checked off in the next two days!

Game 2 vs. Avon Lake

Our game this week is Saturday, September 4, against Avon Lake. We are still deciding what the uniform will be, but call will noon on the practice field. Watch for tomorrow's posting about uniform details. Remember, if you are not in uniform, including shoes that are all black, you will not be allowed to march.

The file size for the opener is very large, so we are working on getting it up on a site for you to see. Enjoy!
