The first tip will be about getting your own personal binder ready for the Brigade season. This binder will be very important to you because it will have your warm-ups, parade music, show music, drill charts, and many other papers that will come your way this season. Brigade will not supply a binder for you - so I would suggest getting one for yourself right away. I would also highly recommend getting some of those clear plastic sheet protectors to keep everything clean and undamaged. You can choose any kind of binder you wish and often our members decorate or personalize them to make them their own.
It really helps to get your binder organized right from the start. We as a staff expect you to treat being a member of Brigade in a serious and professional way. Having bits of music and drill sheets floating around in your instrument case or being left in a rehearsal area for the director to pick up is not a step in the right direction! Color guard members may not have music to put in your binder - but you will still need one for all of your drill sheets. I will have a cool cover sheet for your binder that you may only receive from me when you show me you have a binder. To complete your Brigade binder - you will always need a pencil. We often change things in the music or drill and it is essential to write these changes down.......it will be too hard to just try to remember them later. So - get going on your binder right away!
