New Schedule for HOOVER!

I received an email from the SCGC Contest director stating that the Hoover Competition would have time changes and could vary up to 20 minutes from what I originally gave you.  I am not sure in what direction the time changes will occur.  As soon as I have the NEW schedule I will get it to you. I should have it some time on Monday.

Flip Flop Friday.....

Food, Fun, Friends and of course..... Flip Flops!

What a great way to end a very busy week.  I hope that each Ellis Emerald had an enjoyable time with each other and the Dega Darlins and Dega Addition.  Hanging out, getting to know each other better and a little artsy project to finish off a VERY busy week and to look forward to an EVEN BUSIER ONE ahead.  I am looking forward to what lies ahead and I hope you are as well.  The Hoover Competition is just around the corner!  Get lots of rest this weekend so you will be rested for the BUSY week ahead!

We will have practice on Monday. However, we will have it from 4:30-6:30 due to band rehearsal for the Tuesday night concert at both the high school and the middle school.

Don't forget about your Winter Guard shirt order forms. They are due Tuesday so we can get them in time for the next competition.

Also, we have had hotel sign up for Championships in Nashville. If you need to add something or change something let me know ASAP.

In the meantime. Practice. :)

Wow! What a whirlwind of a week you have had. It has been great watching you learn and grow this week, as well as except challenge after challenge with a smile on your face and with a great attitude. :) I am so proud of your first performance and you should be too. Congratulations on 1st place. You had a great score for your first time out. I am also VERY excited about the way you conducted yourselves at the competition. If I did not know I would not have guessed that it was your first performance. I look forward to Hoover on February 27th. Lots of work to do by then, but with your work ethic we will get it done. And, what a great fan base we had with us. It is so wonderful to have OUR parents yelling in the stands!

We will Have practice on Monday at ZEJH from 3:00-5:00. We will listen to judges tapes and watch the video, as well as begin to clean and fix some things. See you then!

Dega Darlins: 1st place

Dega Addition: 2nd Place

Ellis Emeralds: 1st place

Oak Grove Competition week!

Hi Ladies!

Be sure that you keep up with the schedule for this week! We are busy, busy with trying to finish the show and get everything done we need to do. Please be sure that you are practicing at home. At this point everyone should have the song or should have brought me a C.D to make you a copy. However, if not then you need to do so ASAP. We cannot move ahead if we are constantly re-teaching. Please do your homework! Practices will be at ZEJH unless told otherwise.

Your first performance of the season is coming up on Saturday. Your performance time is 2:05 if you would like to invite people to come and see you perform. I know that you will do amazing, I just also know that we have a lot to do.

ALL practices are important, however, practice on Monday and Thursday is VITAL. Please come ready to work. We have a lot to add and perfect before Saturday, but you guys are more than capable. I look forward to a GREAT week!

Oh yeah... and each of you should be trying out for honorband. Tryouts are on Tuesday, the 26th! Of course, you have a competition on the day of honorband, but this would be a great way for you to see how you are doing in the BIG scheme of things. Tryouts are the scales we have been practicing in class and sightreading. Sign up with Ms. Todd on Monday! It is $7.00 to audition.

Queen of Hearts pageant is something you might be interested in as well.
If you would like to participate in the pageant forms are due on the 27th. (the form may have said the 22nd, but they have extended it due to a misprint)

See you Monday.
