2018 Kuna Marching Invitational
Thanks to everyone who contributed and made hosting our 2018 show that much better! Thank you so much!
First of all- what a great first football game for this 2018 season! Thanks for all the support parents and what a great performance students (both on and off the field)!
Here's a look at what's coming up (of course, this info is available on our calendar at www.kunabands.com as well):
This week- Tuesday and Thursday evening rehearsals from 5-8pm
Next week- Tuesday and Thursday evening rehearsals from 5-8pm
Also- Saturday, September 22nd I've been able to secure the football stadium for our annual SUPER SATURDAY rehearsal! We'll be working hard to put final touches on our show from 8am to 2pm (hopefully ending early :) ) EVERYONE WILL NEED TO BE TO THAT REHEARSAL. Please send a lunch with your student on that day!
The following week we will have our Tuesday and Thursday evening rehearsals from 5-8pm.
Our next home football game has a call time of 5:30pm on Friday, September 28th.
Our first competition will be the next day Saturday, September 29th at Caldwell High School.
Just so you are aware, competitions do not yet have a timeline attached to them yet as performance schedules are rarely released more that two weeks in advance. An example of last year's Caldwell itinerary is available here though if you'd like to get an idea of what a competition day looks like: https://www.kunabands.com/uploads/5/7/5/8/57587579/caldwell_itinerary_2017.pdf
As always, please let me know if you have questions- the next 3 weeks are a really crucial time to our group's success this year. Please help out and be on time and present to all rehearsals with the materials and preparation that you need to succeed!
Students and parents- you're AMAZING and thanks for the opportunity to lead our Kuna Bands!

T-Shirt Orders
Hello Everyone!
It's been a great first week and I'm super excited about what we have going on this year! I know many of you had the opportunity to request to purchase Show Shirts based on this year's marching show and Band Polos, but I wanted to put out a "last call" if you're interested in ordering.
Please just send me an email if you'd like a shirt or polo and specify the sizes that you need. As soon as you get payment in (15 dollars for each shirt), I'll be able to deliver those shirts! Please let me know by Monday what shirts you'd like to purchase so I can get them ordered. Diane Kulin has done a great job at designing those shirts!
Just a reminder, if you asked to purchase shirts using the band handbook which was turned in previously, you DO NOT need to order those shirts again. By my tally there are already about 80 shirts that need to be ordered because of the band handbooks. Keep in mind as well, students do not need to BUY a shirt- every participating student will be provided a BAND POLO AND SHOW SHIRT.
Thank you and have a great weekend!

WEATHER/AIR QUALITY INFORMATION
Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to send a quick note to notify parents that as students are coming into camp this week and in the upcoming weeks, as a band, school and a district, we are looking to take care of your students to the best of our abilities. We are aware of the weather conditions and the side effects of the hot weather we get this time of year. We look to balance indoor/outdoor facility use as the heat becomes a concern. Please help your students to remain well fed and hydrated for these conditions.
Also, there are regulations and protocols set into place which help us to monitor the smoke and air quality. As we move into camp, these conditions are taken into account on an hourly basis as we try to limit students' exposure to poor air conditions. Please don't assume that rehearsals will be cancelled due to weather or air quality as we always have things that we can work on inside. Thank you!
We are looking forward to a great year at Kuna High School!
