Upcoming events

1) For the students who signed up for Solo and Ensemble, it's this Saturday March 2 at Northside High School. Our allotted time is 8:30 - 9 am. Try to get there around 8 or 8:15 to warm-up. When you get there, I will have the list of rooms where each person is supposed to go. Park by the south cafeteria (look for some other school buses parked around there.)
2) Next Tuesday, March 5 from 6:30 to 8 pm is the next rehearsal designed to start incorporating the 8th graders. The last two rehearsals, I only wanted the leadership team there. At this rehearsal, I am inviting the whole band to come and welcome the 8th graders. During this time we will also be looking at some new pep music for next year.
3) Next Thursday, March 7 at 6:30 pm is the next Booster meeting. We need more parents at this one so that we can finalize working assignments for the Beauty pageant.
4) Tuesday March 12 is the afterschool rehearsal for Concert Festival from 3:30 to 5:30.
5) March 16 is the Beauty pageant. We need a photographer. The one we had lined up is not able to do it now. If anyone know anyone who could do it, please let me know.
