1)  Jazz Band will meet on Tuesday this week.

2)  The Chili supper is this Tuesday from 5-7 pm.  You can still sell tickets for $5 through Tuesday.  It is a great meal to support the band before you go support the Basketball team at the home game that night!  

3)  We have most of the parent workers signed up from the last meeting, but if you still want to help you can get there any time after school to help get everything together.

4)  Students, remember your donations requirements to help us with our profit margin with the Chili Supper fundraiser:  

Trumpets, Baritones, Tubas - a dessert (cakes will be okay as long as they are cut into good size slices.)

Percussion and Guard - 1 bag of Frozen onions and 1 bag of Frozen green peppers.

Flutes, Clarinets, Alto Saxes, Tenor Saxes, French Horns, Trombones - 2 pounds of Ground Beef.

5)  We are not having a Booster meeting this Thursday due to the addition of the University of Memphis Honor Band to the schedule for selected students this weekend.  It will be rescheduled for next Tuesday, February 6 at 6:30 in the Band Room.

I hope everyone enjoyed your second Winter Break and stayed safe.  I look forward to seeing everyone once again and making some music!

1)  Jazz Band will meet on Monday this week.

2)  We will be starting our Butter Braid Pastry fundraiser this week.  This will be the final fundraiser that will be able to count toward the trip.  

3)  I apologize for the delay in getting fundraising numbers from the Yankee Candle sale.  The company did it a little different this year and I am having trouble interpreting the numbers they sent me.  As soon as I get that cleared up I will give the numbers from both the fruit and Yankee Candle sale.

4)  We will be having a Community Chili Supper Fundraiser next Tuesday, January 30th.  I will pass out tickets to sell this week.  If you are going on the trip, 50% of profits will go toward your trip.

5)  In order to maximize our profits for the Chili Supper, we need donations from EVERYONE. I have to have everyone in each section bring what they are supposed to bring to make this work. Guard is involved with this, too. Here are the assignments:

Flutes, Baritones, Tubas - 1 gallon of diced tomatoes
Trumpets - 1 gallon of Kidney Beans
Percussion - 1 gallon of Chili Beans
Guard - 1 bag of Frozen onions and 1 bag of Frozen green peppers
Clarinets, Alto Saxes, Tenor Saxes, French Horns, Trombones - 2 pounds of Ground Beef.

Also, I need as many people as possible to bring a dessert. This all needs to be turned in by next Monday, or at the latest Tuesday morning. The ground beef can be turned in any time since we have a place reserved for us in the school freezer.

1)  Jazz Band will meet on Monday this week from 3:30 to 4:30 because I have Basketball gate duty on Tuesday.

2)  Those students trying out for All West: It is this Saturday at Northside High School.  You will find your own way there.  Try to get there at least 30 minutes before your time to allow for traffic and warm-up time.  You can leave after your audition is done.  Good luck to all of you, I am proud of the work that you have put in already to this point.  

Announcements 1/3/18

1)  Welcome back!  I hope you enjoyed your break!  Be prepared to bring your instruments and play during class on Thursday.

2)  Booster meeting Thursday night at 6:30.  We will start planning for our Spring events such as our January Chili Supper and Miss Harmony Beauty Pageant.

3)  Our student teacher will be teaching more this semester and will need to video her lessons many of those times.  She will be passing out permission-to-video forms Thursday for each student to sign and have their parent/guardian sign.  Please get those in ASAP so she can start meeting the requirements of her teaching assignment.
