Rehearsals
Timing & Attendance
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before scheduled rehearsal time. For rehearsals in the Alta Sierra stadium or VMS, plan to arrive even earlier.
Rehearsal Attire
Wear comfortable, athletic clothing that is easy to move around in and tennis/running shoes with an arch (no sandals or “skateboarding” shoes).
Jeans or denim shorts, or heavy shirts or pants are not acceptable as they greatly inhibit movement.
These rules apply to the front ensemble as well.
Rehearsal Essentials
Sunblock! (30+ SPF). Even if you think you are invincible to the sun.
A hat and sunglasses. You will be able to rehearse MUCH better without the sun in your eyes or pounding down on your head.
Water is a necessity. Everyone MUST bring their own RED Coleman 1/2 Gallon water jug filled with water to EVERY rehearsal. Write your name on it with a Sharpie!
Water is not provided at rehearsal.
Please make sure you fill your cooler before every rehearsal.
Short breaks will be given periodically while we rehearse.
Everyone must drink water!
An instrument in working order
Your music binder (white or black, 1”)
Lanyard, dotcards, and a pencil!
Rehearsal Etiquette
Be ON TIME! Be in the band room no later than 15 minutes before scheduled rehearsal time
Be attentive and silent on the field! Do not excessively talk to those around you…every minute we can get during rehearsal will help us succeed in Utah and SoCal!
No phones on the field! The only exception to this rule is using your phone for the UDB App.
Have a fun time on the field! Having the right mindset is everything…it is boring if you make it boring, and it is fun if you make it fun!
