Very proud of you ladies!  I am looking forward to a GREAT YEAR... 14 Strong!  :)

Just a reminder that tryout clinic for Dega Darlins and Dega Darlin Addition begins tomorrow April 5th at THS.  

If you have not picked up an information packet, you may do so in the band office.  You must have your fee and form to stay for clinic so be sure you take care of it.  

Any Young lady that will be in the 9th-12th grade next school year, 2010-2011, may audition.  No experience is required.  See you there!

This WEEK!!!!

The time is quickly approaching.... I CANNOT believe we are wrapping up the 4th Winter Guard season for the Dega Darlins.  I am very excited about the trip coming up and I am even more excited about the dedication, hard work and preparation that I have seen from such an AMAZING group of talented young ladies.  :)

A few last minute details to help us as we get closer to departure.

  • The Itinerary online is correct.  We do have the performance times that are within that block, but overall everything stays pretty much the same.  When you receive the official itinerary on Friday morning you will the exact time that we discussed posted.  Also, instead of going downtown for dinner, we will go for lunch, which will give us more time. In the meantime if you have questions ASK! 
  • We discussed the possibility of going to Wild Horse as a group.  As of right now, enough people have not turned in their information.  If they do by this afternoon then we will go, if not then we will not.  I will let you know when I am positive. 
  • TRAVEL FORMS ARE PAST DUE!!!!!!
  • INTERSTATE:  There is a large delay on I-65 North around the Cullman exit.  It has been advised that we find an alternate route due to the fact the delay has taken up to 2 hours, which we do not have in our schedule.  It is only 20 more minutes according to google maps to go to Gadsden, get on I-59 and go North to Chattanooga then over to Nashville.  The total trip being 4 hours and 23 minutes as opposed to 4 hours. The downfall is that they are doing construction here as well and it is a one lane road... however, the traffic moves at a consistent pace here and will not slow us too much.  
  • Friday Lunch.... We will still stop at Steak 'n shake on the way up.  We will just stop at a different location.  It is actually still about 30 minutes outside of Nashville like before...I will have a map for the location... it is right on the interstate.  (Symrna, TN)
I believe that is all for now.  See you this afternoon, for another STELLAR rehearsal.








updates!


HI Ladies!  
SCGC Championships... right around the corner... YAY!

With Spring break ending and school starting back you know we have  A LOT of work to do and a little time to do it.  Please check the calendar on Dega Band for updated times.  You will notice that Brian is coming on both Monday and Tuesday.  You will also notice that he is working on both days with both you and the Addition.  In order to make this possible we had to rearrange some of the times.  He wanted for you guys to be last so it pushed your time back some.  Please review the times and make needed arrangements.  Also, remember that we will go to Ellis during 5th everyday this coming week.  

If you did not notice the video from Brooks is posted below.  Also, the judges had some very good comments about what you are already doing and some things we can work on to make it even better.  You know that we have a few changes to make and things to adjust this week.  With the hard work you have shown so far this year and the great dedication I have no doubt that this is going to be an outstanding week.  It will be tiring, but I encourage you to push through, take your vitamins, get lots of sleep and push to the end, hopefully, for a very rewarding experience.  This is going to be a busy yet fun week for sure.  Don't forget to express thanks to Brian.  He will be driving TWO days from Atlanta and then to Nashville on Friday! 

You will have the updated Itinerary as soon as I get the times.  I received an email stating that final times would be issued before 5pm on Monday.  If I get them before your practice you will get them on Monday at rehearsal, if not, you will get them Tuesday.  On Friday you when you arrive at ZEJH to depart you will receive a packet of needed information for the trip; maps, itinerary, addresses, phone #'s and such.  In the meantime if you have questions ask Lacey, Me or Mr. McDaniel. 

See you Soon!



Here is the video from Brooks.... you will have to ignore the heads of the audience and the nice black bar, but enjoy!  I am also uploading the Dega Addition and Ellis Emeralds to their blog... so check it out!  :)

Hi All.



The itinerary for Nashville has been posted on the calendar. You can also link to it by clicking HERE.
Keep in mind it is a VERY rough draft, but should help you see what to expect to help you make plans for the trip.

A detailed and up to date Itinerary will be posted on Monday, March 22, 2010, when the official schedule is released by the SCGC.

Hi Ladies!  

I am so proud of you guys and the stride forward you made tonight.  We could not ask for a better group of hardworking and dedicated young ladies.  Keep up the good work as we continue through the week and head toward the Competition this weekend.  :)              

ORDERS DUE!

ALL Krispy Kreme Doughnut orders are due on MONDAY, March 8, 2010, before the end of the school day. 

Be sure that you have clearly marked ALL orders and collected the money for those orders placed.

Hi Ladies.

Good showing at Hoover on Saturday.  Congrats on your Third place finish.  We have LOTS of work to do over the next few weeks that will require group and individual effort.  Keep up the good work and push hard for the next few weeks as we head toward championships... next stop.. Killen, AL. 

Click here for the Brooks High School; Killen, AL itinerary.

Be prepared to dress out daily during class time between now and championships.  

F.Y.I

Just to let you know.  The Hoover updates did not effect us.  The only thing that changed is that the Dega Darlins will go on at 8:03 instead of 8:05.  You can still use the itinerary that I gave you for Hoover.  It is linked in an earlier post if you lost it.  Scroll down.... :)

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 onMonday. 

Hi All!  
Wear your uniform to practice on Tuesday! 
See you there!

Fun, Food, Friends and Flip Flops!!!!

I hope that each of you had a great time hanging out and relaxing together before the busy week ahead and found a little comfort and stress relief by being around each other, I did.  Thanks!  I am very thankful that we have THREE GREAT groups of young ladies that are so eager and willing to spend some time together and make it a fun event EVERY time!  

I am looking forward to the Hoover Competition coming up and I know you are too.  Get lots of rest this weekend.  With MPA and a Winter Guard Competition it is Busy, Busy all week long. But what a rewarding week it will be.  I am very proud of each of you!  :)
