We'll have a 3pm Rehearsal Start Time on the field in the stadium and end rehearsal at 5:15pm in order to move and play for Back to School Night at 5:30pm at the flagpole in the quad (Stand tunes). Students will be done performing at 6pm and will be free to pack up their instruments and be released after. Dress code for tomorrow's BTSN performance (and the rehearsal - there will not be time to change) is Band T-shirt, and black (athletic) shorts. Don't forget your white hat for the rehearsal!

Thursday 9/2 - Color Guard rehearsal 3pm-7pm

Friday 9/3 is our first Away Football Game at Valencia HS (Bradford Stadium). Dress code for that is Band T-shirt and blue jeans. Brea jacket & apparel is encouraged, but any jacket is allowed (bring layers!). Call time is 5:45pm in the band room. We'll load and leave on the busses at 6pm, arrive at Valencia HS around 6:15pm, unload and move to the stadium for the 7pm game start. The game will end around 10pm-ish (depends on game flow) and we hope to be back at school around 10:30-11pm for Release. I'll announce on the Remind app when we are leaving Valencia HS and have an estimate for pickup. To sign up for Remind, text the number: 81010 the message: @bohsband21

BTW - As an update from last year's awards banquet - I hope to have our Varsity Letter patches by the end of the week.
