Kuna Bands News
Hello Parents and Students,
We're getting ready for our concert this week with a rehearsal on Tuesday from 3-6 PM in the KPAC.
The concert is Thursday with a student call time of 6 PM in concert black attire.
I wanted to take a second here and share what's upcoming in January and February when we get back from break. We will begin our performances as a pep band at the high school varsity basketball games. The band will be playing at 8 different games, but to lighten the load on individual students, I have split the band in half so that students are required to attend only 4 games. They are however, welcome to attend all 8 if they would like. Pep Band attire is blue jeans and a black band shirt. On the attachment you'll find the list of which students are playing at which games and the call time for each. This information is also provided on our band calendar at www.kunabands.com/calendar
Most basketball games will have a student call time of 6:30 PM with the band playing before tip-off which is normally 7:30 PM. The game is likely to be finished around 9:30-10 PM if I can remember correctly. The band will play before the game, play the national anthem, and play during halftime in addition to playing the timeouts and in between quarters.
Thanks for all that you do to support the band and have a great week!

Hello!
This week we have two after school rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday from 4-7 PM.
On Friday, we will have our last regular season football game. Call time is 6 PM.
We will recognize Seniors at halftime of the football game. Parents are encouraged to come support their Seniors as they receive recognition at the beginning of halftime. This can be done by simply walking down to the track on the south side of the bleachers and meeting up with your students a minute or two before the end of the first half. We will recognize students by reading their names, presenting them with an award and shaking hands before we move on to perform our entire halftime show.
Seniors, please make sure you check in with Mr. Krall sometime before Friday in order to verify information that is to be announced at hafltime. Please keep in mind, band seniors will be recognized at the final band concert as well.
Thank you so much for your support and GO KAVEMEN!

Hello All!
This week we have rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday from 5-8 PM. Please note that next week we will begin having Tuesday and Thursday rehearsals from 4-7 PM in order to keep rehearsal during daylight hours.
This Saturday is the Kuna Marching Invitational! We host this show here at the high school and we have a record number of bands participating. As I'm sure you've already seen, we need many hands on deck to make this show a success for our band program!
The itinerary for students for this Saturday is quite simple:
10 am call time for students in the band room wearing show shirts, long black socks and marching shoes.
Students will be helping out with running the show and watching other bands' performances throughout the day.
Pizza will be provided as lunch for students.
Students will perform at 5 PM at KHS Stadium.
Thank you so much for your help and support through these first two weeks of our competitive season- it's been an enjoyable season so far and I'm looking forward to the rest of it!
Let me know if you have questions- thank you!
