Evening Rehearsal - Thursday, Sept 30
There are four Evening Rehearsals for this season and that number will not increase.  All four rehearsals are considered required and will be calculated into your grade.  Exceptions to the requirement are (1) for athletes who have traveling matches which return later than 9:00PM on the dates listed above, or, (2) on a case-by-case basis as needed.  Work and non-Grandview Heights activities should be scheduled around Evening Rehearsals; please submit the dates above to your work management or advisors.
Our next night rehearsal is this Thursday, September 30, 8:00-10:00PM

Homecoming Parade - Friday, Oct. 1 - 6:00PM
The traditional Homecoming Parade will step off from old LMS at 6:00PM.  For new band parents - The parade route is 1st Ave to Grandview Ave to 3rd Ave and back to the stadium.  You’re welcome and encouraged to enjoy!!

Traditional Uniform - Reminder
The band will transition to its ‘traditional’ or ‘formal’ uniform this week.  There are several components to the uniform:
  • Jacket
  • Trousers/Pants
  • Row Shirt
  • White Marching Shoes
  • White Gloves (except percussion)
  • Long White Socks
  • Hat


Traditional Uniform - Policies and Procedures - Reminder
  • All uniform parts listed above are required - students who do not pass inspection will not march at halftime.  Parents - please make sure your student has all items before leaving the house - especially LONG white socks, gloves (if needed) and their Row Shirt.
  • All members must be ‘fully dressed’ unless instructed otherwise by the director(s).  This includes jackets fully zipped, hats on, etc.
  • Accommodations will be made in extreme temperature situations.  Example - students will be instructed to remove their band jacket and fold to sit on top of their band hat.
  • Uniforms (jacket, pants, hats, parkas) are checked out and checked back in before/after each use.  Students are required to rehang all items and turn in all items before they are dismissed.
  • An additional time marker has been added below (Band Room Opens) - students must be dressed and in their seats by Call/Dress time.  Please plan accordingly.
  • Any staining of the uniform during the marching band season will be the financial responsibility of the student.  They are required to have the uniform part dry cleaned before the next performance.  Uniforms can only be dry cleaned; no exceptions.
