Eagle Regiment Family,
Happy Sunday- hope everyone is safe from the storm and ready to get back to work!
With the competitions coming up and BOA Orlando just TWO WEEKS away, we need your support and flexibility as we continue to push towards our collective goal. Please read Mr. R's post regarding rehearsal changes as your attendance is essential to our success as a group. In the case that you can't deconflict your schedules, students should still try to attend a portion of rehearsal— some is always better than none. Students, please review UDB, choreo, music, and your marching technique so you are prepared for Monday's rehearsal!
This year's production is truly something special, and our goal is within reach IF you are willing to work for it. We are ultimately the ones who decide how far we take it—not the weather, not school work, not any external issues out of our control. We are the ones responsible for what is within our control and giving our best effort no matter the circumstances.
No "should've, would've, or could've"s; let's finish this season strong and without regrets.
Please be sure to read ALL of the Announcements and Schedules:
ANNOUNCEMENTS
IMPORTANT! VIDEOS of PERFORMANCES
As a reminder, videos of this year's Marching Band Show CAN NOT be posted to social media until after the competitive season concludes due to copyright agreements. Please ensure any videos you take are only posted on the Band App private page until December 1st. Thank you.
CLEAN EATZ GIVEBACK DAY
Come out and support our giveback day at Clean Eatz in Coconut Creek on Monday from 11 AM to 9 PM! Be sure to mention the Stoneman Douglas Eagle Regiment at checkout so a portion of your order total goes back to the program.
