ATTENTION IDA BAND ALUMNI !!!
HOMECOMING IS SEPTEMBER 21, 2007
PRE-REGISTER NOW
It does not seem possible that another year has passed since the last Alumni Marching Band performance, but time marches on and so must we.
The 2007 Alumni Marching Band will rehearse on Thursday, September 20, at 7:00 p.m. in the Ida High School Band room.
I am asking that all who plan to take part in the 2007 Ida Alumni Band take a few moments and pre- register. In the past few years the attendance has dropped to the point where there has been some concern about continuing the tradition. Please consider being involved this year to allow this enjoyable tradition to continue. Pre-register by e-mailing or calling with your name, graduation year, and marching instrument by September 18 to:
Dana (Warner) Regnier
(734) 269-9313
pnut9313@chartermi.net
If you have been a member in previous years, you know that we rehearse for approximately one hour on the music and then proceed to the marching field (you know the grassy area to the west of the school upon which the band graciously lets the football team play their games) for a short marching rehearsal. We will assign spots and march (walk??) through the half time formations. Everyone should bring some bug spray for this early rehearsal.
You will need your instrument in playing condition, a lyre, and a flip folder (we don’t have many extra at the school any more). If you need to borrow an instrument, it is necessary that you call to enable us to locate an instrument for you. Uniform will be the same as previous years (alumni shirt or as the most blue and gold shirt you have, blue jeans, and what ever shoes and socks you want).
The schedule will be:
Thursday, Sept 20 7:00 p.m. Playing rehearsal
8:00 p.m. Marching rehearsal
Friday, Sept 21 5:30 p.m. Marching rehearsal review
6:00 p.m. Marching rehearsal with HS Band
7:00 p.m. Kick off of Homecoming Game
If you cannot be present at the Thursday rehearsal and you pre registered, you may still take part in the performance on Friday if you can attend the 5:30 p.m. rehearsal. Of course, the band will look better if all are present for the very intensive rehearsal on Thursday.
Thank you and I hope to see you as a member of the Alumni Marching Band.
