Band takes third at OBA



Originally posted October 29, 2012

Union Band Community,
Congrats to the Regiment for earning the Bronze Medal and 3rd place in Class 6A at OBA, as well as earning another round of Superior (1) Ratings at OSSAA.  Not only did we achieve enormous amounts in our rehearsals this week, but the students also had numerous fantastic performances.  And all this within 7 days of returning from St. Louis!
 
And speaking of 7.....that's the number of rehearsal days we have left before getting on the bus to head to Nationals.  If there are more important rehearsals than these next 7 days-worth, I'm not sure when they would be.  All of your efforts and assistance in getting every student to every rehearsal is noted and greatly appreciated.
 
Lastly, good luck to all band members auditioning for district/state band this next weekend.  Hopefully all of your hard work and practice will be rewarded.  Relax and do your absolute best!  Remember, everyone listening/adjudicating your audition has high hopes for you to put your best foot forward.  Enter the room with confidence, and show them what you can do.
