All of you should know by now the we will be marching this Sunday, 15 March, for St Patrick's day. We are very privileged to have the honour of leading this parade so please be prepared.
Prepare Ceremonial Parts
- polish badges
- polish boots
- shoe white cummer belt
- iron cummer bund (if crumpled)
- shoe white forage cap (if necessary)
- starch tunic
- get cardboard for shoulder title
- make sure your green socks do not stink
- ensure your lanyard is not damaged
- get a green wire or rubber band to tie lanyard
We will also be playing some songs so please practise and memorise them by saturday.
Songs to be learnt and memorised
- Ireland's call (will have the score with you but try memorising)
- 76 Trombones
- Josephian's March
- Manchester
- Thank you for the music (will have the score with you but try memorising)
- Hawaii-5-o (will have the score with you but try memorising)
- School Rally (should have memorised this last year already)
We've already been featured in the newspaper regarding this event so please do not disgrace SJIMB by screwing up. And try practising marching and playing songs simultaneously. It's quite hard for brass players. But please take note thet your marching should be more important than your instrument playing as you can pretend to play but you cant pretend to march so your marching needs to be uniform with the other bandsmen.
Sec2s, you can do it!
