Band stuff

STRESS…..

Ok, I’m hired on with the band by booster club executive decision. They don’t want the kids to lose any valuable time without at least having someone to lead them. I sign my contract probably tomorrow. They’re having a meeting to tell the whole band tomorrow morning at 10am (only the officers and I know right now… I don’t know who the other instructors are yet, so I don’t know if were made aware).

Here’s a list of things I know need to happen or things I need to figure out for myself:
- I need the music scores.
- I need to know the roster
- I need to figure out instrumentation and balance.
- We need to write drill or buy it (yeah, it sucks, but we might have to)
(I’ve just been doing that, and wow… this is going to be hard.)
- Keep people from quitting tomorrow morning.
- Keep up morale.
- Check competition dates and deadlines (apply for whatever we need to now).
- Brainstorm the props situation/Design.
- Order guard flags & uniforms if we have no guard instructor.
- Arrange for sectionals ASAP/NOW.
- Make flute bags. (Sure can’t find them online!)

Ok, that’s all I can think of for now.
