Next Weeks Rehearsal Schedule

In order to alleviate the pressure next week we are going with the following plans.  This is a reiteration of what I went over with the parents at the Band Fans meeting and the students at the end of the rehearsal on Wednesday night.

Scenario #1 - We score within a point of Malverne

• If we are within a point of Malverne on Saturday night we will do Scenario 1.  This means we are in contention to win the New York State Championship and due to the fact that the judges have popped our score, we need to give our kids the best chance of winning.  We need to rehearse on Wednesday for at least one hour.
• On Tuesday morning next week I will look at the weather for the week.  If it is going to be nice on Thursday night for the Newsday Festival we will rehearse for 1 hour, from 7 to 8, on Wednesday night. I may wait another day to make the call on this. Or..............
• On Tuesday morning next week I will look at the weather for the week.  If it is going to be raining on Thursday night that means Newsday will be cancelled.  We will then have a full rehearsal on Wednesday night.  I will only do this if it looks like it is almost definitely going to be raining on Thursday night.

Scenario #2 - we are still points below Malverne and it looks like we are being slotted into 7th place (in other words, the current scenario continues).

• On Tuesday morning next week I will look at the weather for the week.  If it is going to be nice on Thursday night for the Newsday Festival we will cancel Wednesday night's rehearsal. I may wait another day to make the call on this.
• On Tuesday morning next week I will look at the weather for the week.  If it is going to be raining on Thursday night that means Newsday will be cancelled.  We will then have a full rehearsal on Wednesday night.  I will only do this if it looks like it is almost definitely going to be raining on Thursday night.

I will put any changes on this blog, explaining everything as well as the twitter site.

Let's have a great week!
