Band Updates from Mr. Roemer

/

The Ross Band increased their scores last week at the Hamilton Band contest and we brought home First Place! We earned two of the three required Superior ratings needed to qualify for State Finals. The band earned a total of 79.460 points. We needed a total of 80 points to qualify. Our score from Norwood was 74.5. In addition, our percussion section earned the third highest score in the entire show. They outscored several AA bands! We are right where we need to be. Still room to grow and improve - remember we are just now half way into our fall season. The students must keep a good attitude and a growth mindset to take this show to its ultimate completion. The judges love our show so we know we are on the right track. As always, the number one thing a student can do to help our show- PRACTICE individually at home. Color guard, percussion, winds. This week - we will have an added rehearsal on Friday from 4 - 6 pm. Sorry to add to our schedule, but when I put together our calendar I was not aware we would not be going to away football games. Since we are not playing at all Friday - we need to rehearse to stay sharp for Saturday. If there are circumstances that cause issue, please reach out to me. Saturday - we travel to Tipp City. The contest is not at Tippecanoe high school. Type into your GPS "Tipp City Family Aquatic Center" and it will take you right to the park where the stadium is. (No we are not playing in a swimming pool!, but that sounds interesting) The whole show starts at 6 pm and awards are at 8:45 pm. Ross performs at 7:30 pm. Under the lights! This is a smaller stadium, but I do like the contest. We have been going here for many years. Thanks to all the fans that have been coming to our shows and cheering on our band. We love to hear you out there! And thanks to all the kind emails and texts I received in support of our program. This weekend will be the furthest regional show we go to this year due to busing constraints. You might want to ask your student to alert you via text when we leave Tipp City so you can plan for pickup. I estimate around 11:30 pm. I have attached our complete schedule for the day.
