Ensemble Concert and Booster Meeting

The date for the Ensemble concert has officially been moved to Thursday, March 17th (St. Patrick's Day). It will still be 6:30 pm with the students reporting to the Cafetorium at 6 pm. I have given an exception to the dress: If the students wear green, I will let them wear jeans. Otherwise, the dress is Concert Attire. The reason for this exception is that Mrs. Hooper is looking at doing a Coffeehouse after the concert that will be open for all SGC students to perform. It will have a St. Patrick's Day theme.

I will still need snacks for the Ensemble concert, so if you planned on bringing/making something for the original date, please bring it on this night.

Thanks!

Remember the Booster meeting this Thursday, March 3 at 6:30 in the Band Room.

Ensemble Concert postponed

With the threat of very bad weather hitting here tomorrow afternoon/night, Mrs. Hooper and I have decided that it is in the best interests of both the participants and the spectators that we postpone the "Meet the Musicians" Chamber Ensemble concert scheduled for the tomorrow night, Feb. 24. We wanted as many family and friends as possible to attend this concert, and we knew that many would stay away because of the impending weather. More importantly, we decided that the safety of everyone traveling needed to be the final factor in the decision, and with the threat of flash floods, hail, and even possible tornadoes, it was clear to us that we needed to reschedule.

We have tentatively set the new date for Thursday, March 17 (St. Patrick's Day). Let me know if this is, or is not, an absolute problem, and I will send out a new official date ASAP.

Ensemble Concert

The Ensemble Concert is Next Thursday, February 24 at 6:30 pm. All band members in class are participating. Everyone is invited and it is free admission.

We do need some things for this: We need snacks, desserts, drinks (cokes, water, coffee), and we also need some decorations - simple stuff, like white Christmas lights, candles, and other decorative accessories (think of a "mike night" atmosphere). I appreciate it!!

Equipment Trailer sponsorship

We have a trailer that we are looking at buying to carry all the Equipment for next year's marching show. As of right now, we are a little short of having the funds to buy it. So at the Band Booster meeting last week, we decided to sell sponsorships on the trailer. I have attached a flyer in the forms section of this website that has all the information of how much each sponsorship costs and what is included with the purchase. Any business, group, or individual can purchase a sponsorship.

You can start looking for sponsors right now, and make sure that checks are made out to: South Gibson County High School.

UTM Jr. Honor Band

I have word that we will be in school tomorrow (2/11/11), so we will follow the UTM schedule of riding the bus. I understand it has been a hectic few weeks and your child may have lost the schedule, so I have it attached on the side of the website where it says "Forms". Besides, we made a small change. We were originally leaving at 8 am tomorrow, but decided to wait until 9:30 for extra caution for the ice. They will go to 1st block class and then to the band room after 1st block. We will still eat lunch on the way to UTM.
