Field ShowsThe call time for field shows will vary from week to week. Often Mr. Hollett doesn’t get the final performance time until a few days before the event so don’t be surprised if the call time is not available until late in the week. Traci Patino will e-mail it as soon as it’s available. (If you aren't on the e-mail list or have questions, you can contact Traci @ corresponding.secretary@revband.org.
Football GamesThose of you who signed up to load the trailers should report to the school prior to going to the stadium. We will send out a call time by Thursday.
End of Day DutiesAt the end of the night everyone is tired, but we still need to get the trailer unloaded and everything put away. It’s a time for “all hands on deck” so we expect students to stay to help and we appreciate all booster help as well. | UniformsShoes: The kids will also fitted for “Dinkles” (those shiny black vinyl shoes). If they need new shoes, they will be available for purchase (or a used pair will be provided if they are unable to purchase). We would appreciate it if you would donate outgrown shoes so that they can be made available to those who are unable to purchase them.
Black Socks: All students will need to wear black socks with the uniform. Those socks need to be the type that come up to cover their ankles/lower calves so no skin is showing when they lift their legs to march. A lot of them wear the shorter ankle socks normally, but they’re too short for under their uniform. These also sometimes come in multi-packs so they can pair up with their friends, or extras can be donated to the Quartermasters for students who don’t have them. Show Shirt: The official “show shirt” will be available soon. All REV Marching Wildcat students receive a free show shirt. A coordinating “booster version” will be made available for yourself, if you want to purchase one. Under the Uniform: Under their uniform they wear a black compression shirt and compression shorts. You may purchase your own, or the Boosters will have order forms during the Marching Band Orientation Meeting to get them through REV Band Boosters. Brass and Woodwind SectionsBlack Gloves: All students (except Drumline & Pit) will be required to purchase a pair of black gloves to wear. We suggest purchasing multiple pairs in case they get misplaced. Don’t be surprised if your clarinet or flute player asks for a scissors to cut the fingertips off of their gloves to allow their fingers to connect with the keys. Battery Section |
