Update. . ..

The band reached one of my favorite yearly milestones last night. . . . Closer drill is on the field! There is more to do before it can be performed, so we will save the debut for next Friday night. In addition to finishing closer drill last night, the band worked in some new visuals, and focused on segments of the show which are prone to timing concerns. Pregame went great on 2 takes, so once again a very productive Thursday night rehearsal.

Next week, we continue putting the touches on the closer, and will be adding more visuals. We will also finish the installation on the amplification for the front ensemble! 3 weeks to the 1st contest!!

Speaking of Contests. . .

The competitive calendar has been finalized:

October 9th - Valhalla Classic, Northgate HS, Newnan, GA.
October 16th - the inaugural Blue Ridge Mtn Marching Festival, Fannin Co. HS, Blue Ridge GA.
October 30th - the Lafayette Classic, Fayette Co. HS, Fayetteville, GA


Make you plans to attend and support the DHS Catamount Band!!

Season moving along. . ..

Its September 10th, and the band is gearing up for our 3rd football game tonight @ Gilmer Co. Looking forward to seeing Harold and the Gilmer band tonight!



The band has been hard at work the last 3 weeks! The first three productions of this years show are on the field, and the closer should be ready by next Friday. The colorguard will be debuting new work tonight in the second number, with a set of gorgeous blue-green, double swing flags. The colorguard is dinitely the most improved section of the band this year!

The drumline is playing a difficult book quite well, as we have come to expect. This year's hornline is turning out to be the best yet! I expect the band to be very competitive come October!
