Band Hell Practice

what's up? This is the last chance to practice before tomorrow's parade, and before winter break, during which the marching band will participate in its FIRST COMPETITION. It's very exciting!! ~~And if Peckenpaugh doesn't win, Trudy will kill herself and then all of you :)~~

Parade practice begins at 4. This will be followed by a BAND DINNER. Then the real hell begins.

visuals!

how this works! ⬥ 4 - 6 Parade Practice: Tomorrow, the marching band will be performing in a holiday parade as a part of the Light Up The Night Festival. Members of Concert Band are invited to participate as well as members of Marching Band. Even if your instrument isn't a traditional marching instrument, they'll make it work. Strictly concert kids will be given a quick primer on marching (you just have to march forward in a line, it's not too complicated). Everyone will also collectively practice the holiday songs they'll be playing tomorrow, to work out any kinks. There's also a ?fun? competition!

⬥ 6 - 7 Band Dinner: It's a holiday tradition for the band family to have dinner together. The feast consists of pizza and cake, and Trudy hands out awards. Band members may invite a +1 each. Rinse your mouths before you play your instruments again, tough, or you'll blow food debris through your instruments. Disgusting.

⬥ 7 - 9 The Real Practice: Hope you appreciated that warm up, bandies. Did you think you were getting out of this just because it's dark and snowing? Not without a healer's note! The marching band will now be subjected to a grueling practice for their competition on the 29th. They'll repeat the show until you could march the drill in your sleep.

locations! ⬦ CHECK-IN:

⬦ PARADE PRACTICE: Get ready to wow the locals with your Christmas tunes! Also, compete in a fun game for prizes! Participants will compete to see who can hold out one sustained note for the longest while marching in place. See! Fun!

⬦ BAND DINNER:

⬦ HELL PRACTICE:
