Dexter, Missouri – Football and marching go hand-in-hand and in just a few weeks as the Bearcats take the field so will the Dexter High School Marching Band.
On Monday, July 29th the Dexter Bearcats marching band will begin a week-long endurance of learning music and their marching moves under the leadership of Band Director Mr. Scott Rybolt.
Many do not realize what talent it takes to play an instrument well and march in step, but it is not easy. Freshman and Drum Majors (ONLY) will begin Monday from 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. the rest of the band will begin on Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., break for lunch and return and march from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Please remember it will be HOT HOT HOT!! Wear shorts, bring a hat, wear light colored shirts, tennis shoes (NO SANDALS) for morning rehearsals you may wear sunglasses and most of all BRING WATER BOTTLES!!! You must drink plenty of water, not soda!
Then on Friday, August 2nd at 6:00 p.m. the Dexter High School will perform on the practice field for family and friends. Everyone is encourages to attend and preview this season’s half-time performance. Students please dress in khaki shorts and white t-shirts. The performance will last approximately 15 minutes, but you will see the work they have put forth in just one week of band camp!
