Band Update for 9/19 - 9/25

9/18/2022

 
​Show week! A busy week ahead with our 8th grade rehearsal; home game #2; and our first competition! We have a lot to cover in rehearsal this week as well!
 
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped get our props ready – we can’t wait to debut those and our show uniforms this coming weekend!
 
September 22 Rehearsal & September 23 Home Football Game:
8th grade band will be joining us on Thursday for a portion of our rehearsal. Our schedule for Friday’s game can be found HERE.
 
September 24 Kansas City Championships
Please view the schedule for our first competition HERE.
 
This will be a terrific experience and opportunity for our students! Parents your support at these events is very much appreciated and helps our students reach a whole new level of performance! If you have never attended a marching festival it is a very unique and exciting experience!

Coolers Needed:
For our performance at Blue Springs, the BVW Band Boosters need some additional coolers. If you have a cooler you would be willing to loan to the band for a couple of days, please contact our food chair, Jen Wall at kj.wall78@gmail.com.
 
Blue Valley District Marching Exhibition:
A great community event! All 5 schools perform their marching show for each other at SWIDAC (stadium next to Blue Valley Northwest.) See our schedule for that evening HERE.
 
October 7 Homecoming Game:
Nearly identical schedule to our other games, except that we will perform our competition show immediately after the game instead of at halftime due to Homecoming activities scheduled during halftime.
 
October 15 Competition Changes:
Due to difficulty in obtaining charter buses for October 15, we have decided to switch from the Branson Marching Invitational to the Odessa Marching Invitational instead in Odessa, MO. This does mean that the day will be significantly shorter with less travel but will still be a fantastic opportunity for us to perform and get feedback. Our schedule will be posted later this week.
 
Honor Band Auditions:
9th grade students interested in auditioning for the Kansas John Philip Sousa Honor Band should visit with Mr. Love or Mr. Ramsey this week.
 
Traditionally all members of Wind Ensemble have been required to audition for the Kansas Music Educators Association East Central District Honor Band. Those auditions take place in November, but students should be preparing music now. Any student interested in auditioning (and specifically any planning to be a member of Wind Ensemble) should be taking on this challenge. See Mr. Love, Mr. Ramsey, or Mr. Westcott for additional information.
