Yamaha Cup Update

The band directors just received a video of the director of US Bands updating us on the Yamaha Cup.  We will be receiving daily updates which I will pass on to you here, on the blog.

The forecast is for 1/8 inch of rain over the entire day at MetLife.  It is supposed to be cold and windy. The weather is supposed to let up at night, when we are on. Hopefully this will change for the better.  They are opening up the Lexus Club for spectators to get warm and the first floor lounge for band members to get warm.  Both are huge areas.  In addition, they are going to get bands into the stadium basement to warm up before they go on.  In any case, we are on for the night.  We will be reporting to the HS at 4:00, no matter what the weather at that time.  We have to go to MetLife because we have no idea what the weather will be like when we perform.

As always, we will not perform and get everyone sick.  The call will probably be made at the stadium.  I will tweet updates.

In the event that we somehow do not perform at MetLife due to the weather at 10pm on Saturday, we are performing our final run through at 8:45 tomorrow at our field for parents, friends and fans.  There is a slight chance that this will be our last performance of this year so I would attend.

The entire itinerary is on roslynrehearsal.com and is also downloadable as a pdf on that page.

More updates to come!
