Winter Guard Camp
WoOOOOoooOOOO HOO!
Winter Guard is HERE! I know you are excited and so am I. Camp this weekend will kick off our season and I hope that it will be a great one. Information regarding camp was given out today, if you were absent or did not receive it please be sure to pick it up in the band office.
I also want to remind you that demerits are applied from tryout to tryout. If you already have demerits and receive more they will be added to what you already have. They DO NOT start over until after the next audition process occurs in April. Demerits will be enforced in order to help sustain the quality of the group.
See you FRIDAY!

Practice with Brian!
Practice for a Pep-rally dance has been scheduled for
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
from 5:00 to 8:30
(I do realize the long hour this time... I just want to make sure we have enough time to get it done.)
If you look at the band calendar we do not have practice on Monday and you will not have it on Tuesday either, just this practice for the pep-rally.
Location of this practice will be announced. I am hoping we can do it in the gym at ZEJH.
Greenville Game/Pratville Competiion
Hello girls!
As talked about at practice, here is your checklist for what to pack for this busy weekend!
(Also, there are copies in our room at school if you want to get one tomorrow.)
Thursday practice: Wear a band shirt and red shorts.
What to pack:
-Uniform (gauntlets, gloves, skirt, mambo sleeves)
-Undergarments (body suits, socks, ect... remember that you might need to bring two pairs!)
-Saturday morning practice: Band shirt, red shorts, black tights, white shoes.
-After the performance: Pink shirts, dark wash jeans, black shoes (and have a white pair in case and the jeans are not final yet, but you will know by tomorrow.)
-Bring an extra set of clothes, on the off chance that something goes wrong. :)
-Of course, bring your pajamas.
-Anything you might need for your hair and make up (to cut down on luggage, you can see who is bringing what so that we don't end up with 12 flat irons and PLEASE bring hairspray!)
okay, I think that is it.
Tell me if I missed anything!
Lets make tomorrow a good practice with lots of smiles, positivity, and hard work!
I love you all!
-Lacey

Thanks ladies for all of the help today for the first day of Ellis Emerald Clinic. The girls that turned out for tryouts did quit well and having each of you there to help really added to the atmosphere and the quality of what was done. I really appreciate each of you.

Tuesday 5-6:30, Wed. 3:30-5, Thurs. 5-7 and Saturday morning at 10 for auditions.

It's almost here!!!!
The time is near and the first game is approaching fast! Please take care of any last minute items or practice time you may need. If you are still having issues on a part please ask for help. If you ask, there are people willing to assist you. If you need anything let me or Lacey know.
I am very excited about Friday night and I hope you are too!
Angelic, Ingram, Shonquita, Riley, Chelcia and LaTeriya this is your first ballgame of the year as a Dega Darlin. YAY! I hope it is as good as you imagined and hoped. I wish you the best as you take the field for the first time in costume and I especially hope that as you come off the field you know that it was all worth it; the sun, heat, sweat, long rehearsals and hard work. Enjoy it!
Ashley, Chrissy, Meggi, Kelsey, and Tisha the year is about to start for real. Friday night as we take the field I hope that each of you feel a great since of accomplishment and pride as you continue your journey as a Dega Darlin. A great year is ahead of us, built on a foundation of stable members such as yourself. Thank you for the work and effort that you put forth for the benefit of The Talladega High band. It does not go unnoticed.
Lacey, this is your last first game. I hope that this game is the start to an amazing senior year for you, with lots of fun memories that you will cherish forever. Keep up the good work and thank you for all that you do for the Dega Darlins and the Talladega High School Band. We ALL appreciate you!
I am excited to just get the first game done so we can move on from here. It will get better and better each week. I am so proud of you ladies!

Next week!
Hello darlins!
I just wanted to take a minute to remind you and further explain some things.
None of us are new to the band camp experience, but make sure you remember all of the necessities! (sun screen, bug spray, water, towel, AND A NOTEBOOK!)
-Usually,we are the section to forget our notebooks with page protectors.:P
So make sure you bring that with a pencil in it.
POOL PARTY:
On Tuesday, Brian will be coming to teach from 5:00-9:00.
That means that when everyone else breaks to eat lunch, we get to leave, and don't come back until... well before 5:00! :P
For everyone that needs them, we can give you directions to Meggi's house, or you can ride with someone (I will have lots of room).
On Monday, we can decide who is going to bring what. And Ms Todd has already called dibs on buying the pizza!
Along with your swim suit, swim gear, and snacks I would bring a change of clothes to wear to practice when we go back so you won't have to put sweaty ones back on! haha.
Oh and parents are more than welcome to come too!
If you have any questions or concerns you can text, call, e-mail, or anything else to get in touch with me!
I hope you all are excited about everything as much as I am!
See you Monday, and don't forget to go all out with your Talladega spirit!
I love you!

Take a last minute break before band camp, which begins on Monday, July 27, 2009. If you were absent from practice last week, Mr. McDaniel announced that Thursday's practice will be Jazz band only (at a scheduled time). We will not have full band Thursday night practice.
Take the time to get some rest before a GREAT week of sun and fun!
Enjoy the night off!

Ever thought how cool it would be to start your own rock band? Jam Studio (click here) can give you the opportunity to experiment and do just that. It is a free online studio that helps you easily create tracks that you can play along with on any instrument. Beginning or Advanced it is entertaining to play around with.
Have Fun!
