Girls need to be in the dance room @ 6:15 pm, completely ready @ 6:30 pm.

We are scheduled to perform at 7:45 pm. The results will be announced at 8:15 pm. We should be back in the dance room around 9 pm... please have a ride available for you at that time. If you have any questions about marching contest or anything else, please let me know.

Great job at the game Thursday night!! Here is the schedule for next week... It is our open week, so there is no football game, but we still have practice.

Monday: Morning practice @ 8 am; Evening practice 6 - 8 pm
Tuesday - Friday: Morning practice @ 7 am

Friday, September 30th: UIL Grade Check... you must be passing all classes by this date, or you will not be able to perform. Please attend tutoring and take care of your business.

Saturday, October 1st: CTMC... This is the marching contest that the Roo Band hosts at Leo Buckley; we will do an exhibition performance at the end of the contest. Attendance at all marching contests is mandatory. I will give you more details about this day as I get them next week.

Reminders & New Policies

Hello all!! I want to start off by saying I am very happy with how the season is going so far. The girls continue to improve, and I know our Homecoming performances are going to be GREAT!

I want to make you all aware of some new things we will be implementing on Monday, September 19th.

• If you are more than 5 minutes late twice in one week, you will be pulled from the halftime performance.
  
• If you are assigned ISS/TOR, you will be pulled from the halftime performance for that week.
• We need to make a real effort to be ON TIME to practice, to our classes, etc... and hopefully the above consequences will be a good incentive to be punctual!!
• If you have a 75 or below in any of your classes, you will be required to attend tutoring during lunch or after school 2 times per week. You can't be successful in Kangarettes if you don't pass your classes :) We don't want to lose anyone to eligibility, so please understand this tutoring is for your own good.
  

Please make sure that your ride is at the school to pick you up promptly after football games and Monday evening practices. For home games you can estimate that your ride needs to be at the school by 10:45 pm. Monday evening practices are over at 8:00 pm, so your ride should be outside waiting at 8:00 pm.
