Another heap big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to help this past Friday night! Our man DW Nabors was going crazy with the camera as always and got some GREAT pictures which you can see at the Pit Crew FacePage by clicking HERE!
A few things of note that I haven't previously covered, and need to get into everyone's minds:
- When the performance is over and the kids have wheeled the front ensemble instruments to the truck, it is their responsibility to take their instruments apart and covered up. Once they are done, then we can start loading them into Big Red.
- Except in certain situations, when pushing anything up/down the ramp, make sure you have someone to help you. These are big, bulky, and almost impossible to control on an incline.
- Before moving anything up the ramp, wait until the previous item has cleared the level area just past the ramp. In other words, don't push anything halfway up the ramp and try to hold it there; you risk harming yourself AND the instrument doing that.
As I'm getting ready to pass this job off to the next person, I'm putting together a Pit Crew Guide that will reside here on the blog. Once it's up, I'll send y'all the link and ask for feedback, comments, and things I forgot to mention. Those three items are going to be part of this guide.
Now, back to the present! In an effort to streamline the sign-up process, I've created a Google Form for this week's game that I need EVERYONE to complete by clicking HERE. This should be self-explanatory, but please contact me immediately if you have any questions about completing the form.
This Thursday's game is going to serve as a dress-rehearsal for this Saturday's Drumline Competition. (If you are unable to help on Thursday but CAN help on Saturday, don't fret! Just please let me know!) Positions will begin to be assigned for the season and we're gonna need to make sure we all know where to be and when to be there come contest-time. I am still waiting for word about next Saturday's Drumline Competition (load time, departure time, performance time, etc), but please set aside next Saturday for this. Even though it is not a full band marching contest, it is a contest that involves our band and we *will* need people to help!
Finally, we are still needing someone to prepare this week's 3rd-Quarter Meal! Check out the sign-up sheet by clicking HERE.
We've only just begun, and I hope everyone is having a great time! Let me know if you're not!
GO MARCHING WARRIORS!!!
