Band members in Symphonic and Wind Ensemble need not text me, I will read it to them in band.
TEAM ROSLYN:
We need to maximize rehearsal time. The best rehearsal we ever have every year is the rehearsal the day before the dome at Central Square Stadium. Everyone has a sense of determination, focus, and the breaks are strictly to quickly go to the bathroom and/or get a snack or drink. The students monitor this themselves. The band returns with a focus and we get so much done. We need to have this sense of urgency now and at every one of our rehearsals.
We are trying this on Wednesday night. We want to get a great placement at the National Championships. We need to get more done at reharsals. Here is our itinerary for this week.
Each segment will be an intense positive and great segment where we will get something great accomplished, cleaned, fixed, or made magical. There will be one staff member up and one staff member down running each segment. We will make this clear to you and there will be no other distractions, no talking, chatting, etc. If any other staff members want to add a comment we will raise our hand and the staff member up on top will give them a minute to add their comment.
I will oversee the entire running, timing, and expedite the rehearsal to maximize our rehearsal which will lead to us doing great at the Nationals.
