REHEARSAL - Monday
September 20th starting at 6:00pm to 7:00pm If
you are in town, we have a rehearsal Monday night with the
student band. We will rehearse the music and practice the
drill. We’ll spell Dons on the field and play the hymn and
fight song. If we can nail that, maybe we can do more next
year!
Donettes, see
informational brochure for practice schedule.
Color guard, we have
flags for you to use. If you did a routine to the fight
song when you were in band, please be ready to practice and
perform it.
We will meet on the
football field for the rehearsal. The band will continue
their rehearsal until 9:00 and you are encouraged to stay
and watch.
REHEARSAL/GAME –
Friday September 24th!
We will meet at 5:00pm in the choir room for warm up and you can leave
your instrument cases there. If you haven’t heard, Coronado
was demolished and rebuilt. Maps of the school and the band
and choir rooms are attached.

We will do another quick
music and marching rehearsal and head over to the game with
the student band. We’ll be performing at pregame.
We’ll sit in the section
next to the band and be able to see them perform their
halftime show. We have stand tunes that we’ll play with the
student band. The game should be a lot of fun, catching up
with old friends and making new ones.
UNIFORM –
Our uniform will be the Forever Dons
Alumni Band t-shirt ($20) and jeans. The money from the
t-shirts goes directly to the band. Please bring your money
for your t-shirt!
