Announcements 2/23/20

1)  Thanks to everyone who helped at the Miss Harmony pageant.  The event went smoothly and the Jazz Band was terrific!

2)  The field commander clinic will be in the Chorus room on Monday.  The clinician will not be able to be there until 4, so use that time to go over your routine and the other prerequisites.  The auditions and interviews will be Thursday in the Band Room.  This will give you time to make any adjustments to the routine that you get from feedback on Monday.

3)  Jazz Band will meet Monday after school.  Again, thank you for the great job you did on Saturday!

4)  The Ensemble Concert is Tuesday at 7 pm!  Admission is free so invite all of your family and friends to the gym to watch this great night of Chamber Ensemble music.  Report time for students is 6:30.  Wear standard concert attire.  

5)  New York Trip participating students:  You need to add two dates to your schedule in March to rehearse the music that we are playing at the Statue of Liberty:  Monday, March 9 and Monday March 16 from 3:30 to 5 pm.  This is for Band and Guard.  Jazz Band will practice on Tuesdays those two weeks.  These Mondays were the best times to avoid overlapping with Theater rehearsals.  

Announcements 2/16/20

1)  Jazz Band will rehearse on Tuesday since school is going to be out on Monday.  Remember for the Miss Harmony pageant on Saturday that you need to wear all black.

2)  The Miss Harmony pageant is this Saturday.  I still need a handful of students to sign up to help.  You will get community service hours for this event.  You will report at noon and will be done around 7 pm that evening.  We will also feed you supper at the school.  

Announcements 2/9/20

1)  Concert Band yearbook picture tomorrow (Monday) during Focus time!  I ask that you wear concert attire for the pictures.  You will come to the band room, get your instrument, and then head straight to the gym for the picture.  This needs to move quickly since it is during Focus time.

2)  Guard signed up to go to the Rose Parade - we are sizing for uniforms tomorrow (Monday) after school starting at 3:40.  

3)  Band members signed up to go to the Rose Parade - you will need to try on a sample uniform top that we are using as a Mass Band so that we can get your size for the actual top we are using for the parade.  If you are not in class, you will need to come in during Focus time or afterschool on Monday or Tuesday.  

4)  Jazz Band will meet from 3:30 to 4:30 on Monday as usual.  

5)  Butter Braid pastries will be delivered Wednesday to the Band Room at 1:30.  Students will help unload them, and they need to be taken home or picked up that afternoon so they won't thaw out overnight.
