Timber Creek Independent is sincerely committed to providing the highest quality experience to our members. Our 2008 rehearsal and performance schedule is set up to be extremely productive and efficient, as well as provide the maximum momentum and pace toward championships in Dayton. Constant staff communication and preparation behind the scenes ensures the continued success and intensity the scholastic ensembles at Timber Creek have enjoyed for 7 years running.
With that in mind, the 2008 schedule is built around both the OCPS and UCF calendars. Professor Jeff Moore at UCF is a trusted mentor and friend and has helped set our season up for success from the college perspective. It is designed for students with serious commitments to academics, as well as percussion. Rehearsal goals and details will be shared in advance of every rehearsal and you can always count on knowing exactly what we will be working on, goal for the session, where to be and when, and what to have with you/prepared.
