Dega Darlins 2011
Ladies, ladies, ladies.....wow! What a great job you did at practice Monday night. Brian said he may not have had a group of girls that worked so hard. I am very impressed and excited. I hope you are too.
Keep working in class and at home, especially with the sabre. Thursday we will do as many run throughs as possible. Notice on the calendar that the time is different due to competition coming up and the new material we added on Monday.
Love you guys!
Hey Girls!
I hope you are having a great weekend. I just wanted to let you know a few updated details about practice on Monday. It will be held at Shocco Springs from 5:30-8:00.(notice the time change.) We had to move to a location where we could be in a gym with Brian.
Brian said that you guys would be learning a 'chunk' on Monday so rest up...haha. Gotta love him! and we DO!
If you have a few seconds... go to the Ellis Emerald Blogspot. Mr. McDaniel, Marcus and I worked on the Ellis floor today. It turned out quite good. Check it out.
Also, a few reminders:
- Review your handout that you received on Friday. Don't forget to give it to your parents so they can review it too.
- On Monday bring your travel forms.
- Monday wear your uniforms to practice. If its at the bandroom I can bring it or you can pick it up between 3-5 (at the bandroom), when addition has practice.
- We will have Thursday practice. TIME CHANGE... immediatly following band practice until 6:00. I will let you know where, but hopefully in the Ellis Gym for a last run through before the competition.
We will have rehearsal this week at ZEJH. Plan to go from 5:00-8:00, so that we can make up a little for having to cancel next week.
Field day is approaching fast.
We will have practice for an hour after your band practice on thrusday to review work from Monday. We will have it in the lunchroom at THS.
See you tomorrow!
Below is a schedule that has been posted for the Pell City competition on January 24, 2009. As most of you know this competion is called 'field day' and is basicially a coming out point for all guards that are participating in Winter Guard. There is another location as well in TN. I will give you a more detailed schedule about departure times and such at your next practice, but wanted to give you this so that you can see who is coming and the estimated times. Keep in mind that sometimes they make adjustments to the schedule. Also, go ahead and start making your travel plans; Everyone must ride with a parent, either your own or someone elses. NO students will be allowed to drive.

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, practice for tonight has been cancelled.
As of right now, we will not reschedule this practice, however, keep in mind that the progress of all practices determines the amount of additional practices we must have. Come next monday ready to work. (Monday's rehearsal will be in the ZEJH Gym.) We will have practice on Thursday as planned.
See you at school tomorrow.
Just a reminder that we will have our regularly scheduled rehearsal on Monday night (5-7:30) with Brian. I am hoping to secure a gym on Monday. If so I will post it on here and attempt to call you guys.
Happy New Year!
We have several rehearsals on the calendar for this month. Please check www.degaband.com often for updates and such.
We will have our regular scheduled practices with Brian to work on the show. We will also have a rehearsal on Thursday, December 18, 2008, following band practice.
Please work on the material that Brian has already written for us on your own. Keep in mind that due to our schedules now, we do not have class time to work on this.... it will require that you do a little more on your own. It will also mean that we will have to add rehearsals here and there so that we can clean and prepare between visits from Brian.
Reminder: please keep up to date on your fees.
I hope you guys are doing well and I look forward to the upcoming concert and hearing you guys perform!
Just a reminder that our Monday night rehearsals begin with Brian tomorrow night, Monday, December 1, 2008. It will be from 5pm-7:30pm.
I will announce the location in class tomorrow. (We are hoping ZEJH).
See you tomorrow night!
took a while, but here they are... and I really need the ones from the pep-rally off of Mr. McDaniels computer for you guys... I will check on that.
Finally... I had a minute to put some pictures on here... enjoy.
These are from the camp, which I have to say again was GREAT!
and more pics.... let the games begin!
Sale those Doughnuts! Don't forget that forms are Due on Monday, November 17, 2008.
Ask EVERYONE... teachers, friends, family, church members, etc.
Also, don't forget to tell them about the NEW! coupon option that you have to offer;
Pay for the doughnuts now, but keep the coupon to get them when you want them at any
Krispy Kreme location.... and... they NEVER expire!
Last year we took a fieldtrip to see the Alabama Ballet perform the Nutcracker. I just ran across this and thought I would share.

Important!!!
Due to the fact that we want this to be a group bonding experience and you cannot do so if you are on your cell phone, we ask that you do not bring or turn on your cell phone during this camp. We will be in the bandroom, where there is a phone for the use of any student. Parents you are more than welcome to call the bandroom if you need something… 256-315-5677. We will check the messages often.
I am excited and looking forward to a great time with all of you. See you Friday!
So marching season is officially over. Which means we are now in the concert season and about to enter winterguard! I am so extremely excited about it this year, and especially our lock-in next weekend.
Start thinking about everything you will need to bring. (and fun stuff we can do!)
Congratulations to everyone for doing so well in chair tryouts! We all just jumped right back into playing our instruments. And good luck on learning your instruments Bobbi, Kelsey, Kayla, and Chrissy :)
i love you all!
