Concert Band has started. Below is a list of the items you need at EVERY REHEARSAL:
Instrument
Music
Pencil
Black Binder with music
Method book
Great attitude ready to give 110% every rehearsal!!!
Each Student has been given a black binder with their name on the front. These are the schools binders and the students are responsible for them. If they lose it or destroy it then it must be replaced. These are for them to keep their music in. These are required during class every day.
Just a quick reminder that ALL PERFORMANCES ARE REQUIRED. If you miss a performance for an unexcused reason then you will fail the semester. This is stated in the handbook that everyone signed at the beginning of the year.
We will have a leadership meeting this Wednesday immediately after school. This will only last about 30 minutes or so. This is only if you are going to do Marching Band AND Concert band next year.
Dinner and a Show is coming up in about 2 weeks. We have already started listening to groups/and solos for that night. Please make sure that you are preparing for this. Once we have the menu set tomorrow night, I will send out what each grade is supposed to bring.
Dinner and a show ticket were due this past week. I will take them again tomorrow until 3pm. Please get them turned in with the form.
Our next fundraiser is April 18th . We will be hosting 2 pageants that day. We need a few volunteers to help set up and work that day. I need 4 adults to help that day!! Please email me and let me know if you can help.
Lets finish this year strong and have a good showing at our parades!!!
There are still students that have not paid their band debts for the fall. As of this point on, no student will be allowed to continue in marching band with a debt from the previous year. If you owe when our first rehearsal takes place in May, then you will not be allowed to attend. If you miss two of those 3 rehearsals, then you lose your spot on the field. Right now, we are sitting at $12,000 in debt for band debt from the fall. We cannot function with this type of debt. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me and I will send you your debt.
