Reminder!

Tomorrow (11/4)... after school rehearsal from 3:30-5:00 p.m. at THS.

This rehearsal will be with the Dega Darlins Addition.

Wear comfortable clothes.

Practice Tuesday!

We will have practice on Tuesday, November 4, 2008 at Talladega High School after school until 5:00 pm. This practice will be with the Dega Darlins Addition. We will focus mainly on flag fundamentals. See you there!

Congrats to the DEGA BAND!

Keith Taylor, sports producer at ABC 33/40 sent an email stating, "I'm currently putting together tomorrow night's Friday Night Blitz show, and would love to make your band our "Blitz Band of the Week." "

How GREAT you guys! Hard work does pay off. So set your VCR's or TiVo or whatever for ABC 33/40 at 10:30, so that you can see the show. They are using clips from the Pell City vs Dega game.

We are proud of the Talladega High School band and for the great following they are creating by people and the media. Tune in to watch the show and support your band. I can't wait until you guys are in the High School band and getting the same experiences.

Be sure to tell a High School band member congratulations!

GREAT JOB!

WHAT AN OUTSTANDING JOB! I am so proud of you guys. The first performance is now under your belt, not to mention that it was in front of the entire school. I had no idea that you would do even better at the game... wow! What a great job. That just makes me excited about the Winter Guard show. By the way, I was in the pressbox and you really did well performing all the way to the top of the stands!

Just so you know.... several of you have asked about performing again somewhere. I think we can make that happen. When something arises I will let you know.

Also, on the original handout it said that you would have a winter guard meeting on the 13th of October. Due to circumstances that I cannot control we are moving that meeting to October 14th. I am sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.

A special thank you to Lacey and Kelsey for their hardwork! We appreciate you. Also, thank you to all of the Dega Darlins for helping at practice, showing up to performances and actually performing at the homecoming game. We love you guys!

ZEJH Homecoming

I am looking forward to you guys performing at the pep-rally and the game on October 7, 2008. We will have our final practice on Monday, October 6, 2008, from 2:00-4:00 at ZEJH; meet in the bandroom.

Dress for both the events is an outfit that you do not yet have:

Ellis Emerald T-shirt, Black Leggings, Red Shorts, black leggings and white shoes.

The pep-rally will be during school hours...usually 6th period. You will be called to the bandroom at the appropriate time. For the game we will meet at 4pm in the bandroom. We will performing after the homecoming festivities prior to the game, as far as I know. I will try to give you a more accurate time as soon as possible. The game begins at 5pm.

UPDATE!

Just to let everyone know where we are..... the SCGC Winter Guard schedule has been published and is listed on http://www.scgconline.org/. We are in the process of securing a show idea and have considered several.

VERY soon we will have a parent meeting to answer any questions, as well, as give additional information to both the parents and the young ladies.

I will say that as far as the schedule is concerned, we are very fortunate that the contests that we are able to attend this year are all fairly close(Pell City, Oak Grove, Hoover). Yea! Championships will be held in Nashville again this year.

Fruit Sale!

The ZEJH band will participate with the Career Tech department in our first fruit sale! For the Ellis Emeralds a percentage of your sales profit can go toward your fees for the Ellis Emeralds. More details on actual amounts will be given when we kick-off the sale. Go ahead now and get together your contact list.

Rehearsals!

I just wanted to let you ladies know that I am so very proud of how you are doing on rehearsals! The light spirited atmosphere, hard work ethic and somewhat comical relief is adding up to be great days spent together. I look forward to seeing what the rest of the pep-rally routine has to over.

Practice, Practice, Practice! We want to look as good as possible on Homecoming.

Practice

At this point, everyone should have a copy of the song that we are learning the dance to, Burnin Up by the Jonas Brothers. If your C.D. did not work correctly, let me know as soon as possible.

Don't forget that we have practice on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. at the high school lunchroom.

Great job last week! I am looking forward to rehearsal this week.

Good job :)

I just wanted to take a minute and tell you all that you did a great job at practice last night. I am more than excited to see what the rest of this year will hold, and I know you are all excited as well. Thank you for a wonderful first practice and a job well done.

peace,love,& jonas brothers :D
