Wakefield HS - "The Heart of
Carolina" - Sat. Oct. 1, 2011
Jordan Band's 2nd
Competition of the season is Saturday, October 1st at Wakefield HS.
This is an evening competition beginning at 6:30pm because the SAT is being held
in the morning. There are a total of 18 bands competing in this competition. All
students must be at JHS at 4:00pm
for our pre show festivities. Please have a good meal before you arrive. I will
try to give the students an opportunity to eat concessions when we arrive at
Wakefield, but that will depend on whether the competition will be running
early, on time or late. We will be departing Jordan at
6:30pm by Activity
Bus and expect to arrive at Wakefield HS before 7:15pm (our arrival time is
scheduled at 8p). I hope to be able to watch some of the other bands before or
after we perform, but we'll have to wait and see. Our performance time is
9:45pm with the
awards ceremony being held around 11:15pm! Again, the late start time is because
of the SAT being administered earlier in the day. Our expected arrival time back
at Jordan will depend on how long it takes to pack up and leave Wakefield. The
students will be instructed to call home for pickup roughly 10 minutes before we
arrive at Jordan and I hope to be home at Jordan before 1am.
Please do come and
support the Jordan Marching Band at Wakefield HS. We encourage you all to come
to Jordan before hand, follow our buses, and join in on the fun. Thanks and we
look forward to seeing you all at Wakefield.
