1)  The Teapot Parade is this Saturday.  Those riding the bus need to report to SGCHS at 8 am.  Those meeting at Trenton will meet us across the street from Trenton Elementary School where we will warmup.  You must drive down South High Street to be dropped off.  I also recommend parking at the end of the parade route across from the Teapot museum on South High Street.  If you are going to meet us in Trenton, make sure you take your uniform and instrument home with you on Friday.  A full itinerary will be posted on Monday.

2)  Afterschool rehearsal for full band and guard on Tuesday from 3:30 to 5:00. 

3)  We will need water for the two upcoming parades.  If you find any water on sale this week, please pick up a case and drop it off at the band room when you can. 

4) Remember to get signed up for the Band Banquet this week if you haven’t yet.  It is $12 per person and the sign up sheet is in the Band Room now.  You must sign up by the end of this week.

1)  Jazz Band concert this Thursday at 7 pm in the Concrete Courtyard in the middle of the school.  Enter through the Gym Foyer and signs will point the way to the performance.  If by chance it rains, the concert will be moved to the Cafeteria.  Jazz Band members will need to wear all black for the performance - shirt, bottoms, and shoes.

2)  Jazz Band will rehearse Tuesday from 3:30 to 4:30 to get ready for the concert.

3)  Students will be asked this week if they need a ride on the bus to the Teapot and Strawberry Parades.  They can find their own way there if they choose, but if they need a ride we will have a bus.  Also, make sure you look ahead and are able to attend the afterschool rehearsal next Tuesday, April 26. It is our only rehearsal for the Parades.  Finally, any student that needs to be fitted for a uniform will be fitted during Focus time this week.
