 1)  Let's start getting those Online Auction items in this week!  We want to start the auctions right after Spring Break which means we need to get the items in so that we can properly set them up.  Small items such as Gift Cards will give us the quantity of auctions we need while big ticket items will be the cornerstone of the overall fundraiser.  We need both quantity and quality items to make this auction work to it's fullest.  Both types make great advertisements for the businesses donating them.


2)  Solo and Ensemble is this Saturday for those who signed up for it.  Those students will need to find a ride to Northside HS.  Mr. Price will be there but will have to get there early.  Our block of time is 10-11 am.  This means you can find your assigned room and perform at any point during that time, then you are free to leave after you perform.  Medals will be given out after Spring Break.  It is suggested you get there a few minutes to warm up.  Assigned rooms will be posted in the band room.  Make sure you dress nice since the judge can see you!  Also, double check with Mr. Price to see if you have paid your Solo and Ensemble fee.


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

 1)  Concert Festival week!  We will be traveling Friday to UT Martin to perform.  Students will go to 1st block, and then report to the Band room immediately after 1st block.  Please wear your Concert attire that day because we won't have time for people to change clothes before we have to load the bus.  Plan to bring money for lunch as we will eat at the food court/cafeteria at UT Martin.  A full itinerary will be posted on Monday. 


2)  Parents (and anyone else) are welcome to attend the concert festival performance at the Fine Arts Building. It is free admission, and we perform at 1:40.  Just know you won't be able to sit in certain sections because the judges will be seated in 3 selected areas of the theater.  You can sign your child out after sight-reading if you want them to ride home with you.


3)  Jazz Band will meet on Monday from 3:30 to 5:30.


4)  Shout out to the Band members that were involved with the Shrek musical this weekend!  It was an awesome show and you guys did terrific!
