Locker Decorating
A long standing band tradition that is looked forward to every year is decorating student’s lockers prior to Championships! Locker decorating can consist of adding pictures, streamers, candy, items to depict the show theme, etc. You may only decorate the lockers – NO TAPE MAY BE PLACED ON WALLS. Also, DO NOT hang things from the ceiling and DO NOT use anything that can not be removed easily (nothing with permanent adhesive, no foam stickers, etc.).
Locker decorating will take place on Thursday, November 8th and Friday, November 9th while the students are rehearsing. A list of student locker assignments will be available for those who may not know the locker number of their student.
Weekly Schedule
The schedule for the week is now available. Don’t forget that Tuesday is the Costume Contest which takes places prior to rehearsal.
