Tuesday, February 9, 2010

We will NOT rehearse today. The bad weather is just starting and we don't know what it will do as the day goes on. Plus, NOBODY is at school today because it is a Code 0 (usually it's just a code 2) which means the weather will probably get really bad.

I bet we will be back to normal by the next rehearsal (Thursday night). Remember that most of the other guards in AIA are having the same weather we are. In fact, Northern Virginia is going to be out of school even longer than us. Even in Virginia Beach they missed school last week. Fortunately, you all have worked hard and our show is complete! We just have to clean, clean, clean when we get back.

Be safe and enjoy another day stuck at home!

Snow Plans for next week

Hope everyone is enjoyed their snow days and staying safe. 99% of the time we will NOT practice on a snow day because of the low temps during our normal practice time. However, more bad weather is predicted this weekend and who knows when we will be back at school.

So for next Tuesday and Thursday, if we are out of school for bad weather, we will still practice, but from 1-3pm instead of 6-8:30pm. Hopefully the roads will be safe to travel during the warmest part of the day. The only person who should have a conflict is Jeremy who might have Pit Orchestra practice. If you know you will need a ride, talk to people NOW to arrange a carpool if we have to practice from 1-3pm next week. Make sure Amber has your phone number to contact you if there are any changes. Please share this message with anyone who is not part of this FB group (I will also post it on www.ecgvpe.blogspot.com).

In the meantime, please MENTALLY practice. I know all of your equipment is at LMS, but you can listen to the music and watch the videos on this page.

FYI....the Brookville competition will not be rescheduled. AIA has credited us the competition entry fee that will carry over into next year since we cannot afford a bus to any additional competitions. We are still looking for opportunities to perform before the Feb. 27 Deep Run Competition (basketball game, public prevew show, etc.).
