Spring Training
Spring Training for the Royal Brigade is this coming Tuesday 6/3 through Friday 6/6. All members new to the Royal Brigade (mainly sophomores) and Leadership Team will meet at 12:00 p.m. each day, with returning members reporting at 1:00 p.m. We will finish rehearsal each day at 4:00 p.m.
Unless it is raining, almost all of our rehearsals next week will be outside, so be sure to dress for the weather. Students must wear closed-toe athletic shoes (no sandals or boots), and color guard will wear their rehearsal blacks. Also, please bring the following items with you to rehearsal:
Your performing equipment (I.e., your instrument, sticks, reeds, valve oil, etc.)
A large water jug, labeled with your name (many water jugs look alike). At least a half-gallon is recommended.
Sunscreen — use more than you think you need
A 3-ring binder, at least 1-inch in diameter.
Optional:
Hat or head covering for sun protection
Sunglasses
Guard and Drum Spring Camps

Uniform Measurements
Students will be measured for uniforms after spring camp rehearsals (approx. 4:00-6:00 p.m.) The following sections will be measured on these days:
Tuesday, June 3 — drum majors, flutes, clarinets, mellophones and low reeds
Wednesday, June 4 — alto saxes, sousaphones, trumpets and baritones
Thursday, June 5 — percussion, and any remaining students who have not yet been measured.
On the day that you are measured, please wear your performance clothing (I.e. a sleeveless shirt or tank, and compression or slick athletic shorts).
