BOB JONES DRUMLINE
SIGNS WITH PRO-MARK STICKS AND PEARL DRUMS!
The Bob Jones Drumline is proud to announce a
mutual endorsement agreement with Pro-Mark sticks and mallets as well as Pearl
drums and Adams concert percussion.
These agreements were offered based on the continual display of excellence by
the students in their percussive performances. We are all extremely
excited to be partnered with such great products!

Auditions for the 2008-2009 Battery section will be
held in the BJHS Bandroom on Friday May 16 from 4pm to 5:30pm AND Saturday May

Dayton Trip Itinerary
Many times are unknown at this
point. When WGI
releases the finals schedule, we will be able to determine more exact
times. Friday and
Saturday performances are contingent on the previous days performance. We have to pass prelims
to play at semi-finals; we have to pass semi-finals to play at finals. We won't know our
specific playing time until the end of the previous day. We will be rehearsing
somewhere at least once a day when we aren't performing or watching other
groups. Flexibility
will be of utmost importance, as much of the day's schedule will not be known
until the night before.
