I’m so proud of our first two performances. Let’s keep up the work and improve each week. I just received the schedule for the Oologah contest, so here’s our itinerary.
- 9:15 Meet and Load
- 9:45 Depart VHS
- 11:00 Arrive at OHS
- 11:49 Warmup
- 12:19 Travel to Stadium
- 12:24 Performance

Students will need to bring money for dinner in case we make finals. If we do make finals, we will be home around 10:30 PM. If we do not make finals, we will be home around 6:30 PM. As soon as we know, information will be posted on the band website. You can also follow our location as we travel on the band website. There will be a map showing where we are as we travel.
Next Friday is our first away game. We will be traveling to Wagoner. We will load at 4:30 and depart at 5:00 PM. Remember this means you are late if you are not there by 4:30. We should be home between 11 and 11:30, but the nature of a football game makes this unpredictable.
We still have several spots where we need volunteers but our most pressing needs are these two trips. At a minimum, we need someone willing to drive the school suburban pulling our equipment trailer. I would also love to have a couple of chaperones on the bus with us. An updated list of our volunteer needs is always available at www.vinitaband.org/volunteer/
Here’s a quick list of what we still need:
- September 16: 1 Concession Worker
- September 23: 1 Suburban/Trailer Driver and 3 Chaperones
- September 24: 1 Suburban/Trailer Driver and 3 Chaperones
- September 30: 1 Chaperone
- October 1: 3 Chaperones
- October 7: 4 Concession Workers

Our drum heads, sticks and bass drum stands are in. Any percussionists want to come up to the bandroom tomorrow (Jul 22) say around 2:00 PM to get the line set up?
New bibbers should be in next week!
