Haunted Farm Canceled

Any band member that had volunteered to work tonight's haunted farm needs to know that it has been canceled. Mr. Rogers called me this afternoon and told me that, in fact, all South Gibson work with the haunted farm has been canceled until further notice. Please forward this message to anyone who does not know.

Meet the Musicians

Our first concert will be an ensemble concert next Thursday, October 29 from 5:30 - 6:30pm. Students will wear dress clothes, and stay after school until the concert starts in order to help set everything up and do a final run-through. Check your emails for more specific information and how you can help including bringing some snacks for the attendees.

Haunted Farm

I found out yesterday that SGCHS has been invited to help the Medina Lions club operate their Haunted Farm. Each Athletic group is getting one night to run the trail and get a chance to raise funds for the effort. The Band has been chosen to operate the trail Next Friday, October 23. There will also be a short training program for all volunteers this Saturday at 11:30 am. If you can spare an hour or so, please attend. Actually, all we have to do is show up and do what they tell you - they have already set everything up and organized it all.

This is last minute notice, I know, but it is a chance for this school and the band to start getting involved in the community. We need at least 10 volunteers for our night of Operation. Look for more details in the email I will send you shortly. See you there.

Announcements

1) Make sure you have the kids at the Game this Monday, October 12 ready to warm-up at 6:00.

2) Be sure to support our cross-county neighbors, the Gibson County Band, as they perform this Saturday, October 10, 8:15 pm at Huntingdon High School.

Parent Meeting

It's time for another Parent meeting. This one will be scheduled for Thursday, October 8 at 6:30 in the Medina Band Room. We will look at some by-laws to start making our Booster organization official, finalize the Fruit fundraiser, and look at other items as we continue to get this program off the ground and running!

Monday Night

Hope everyone has gotten a chance to look at their calenders that I sent through the e-mail. If you did not receive one, please let your child know so that I can send one home with them. And again, please let me know ASAP if there are any conflicts with scheduled rehearsals or performances.

Note that the Report time for Monday night has been changed to 5:45. Other than that, we will follow the same schedule.

Fundraisers

We decided at the parent meeting that it was a good idea to go ahead and do the Fruit fundraiser starting at the end of October, and we wanted to look further into doing a fundraiser Golf Tournament next Spring. If there are any other smaller fundraisers that you think would work and would want to head up between now and then, please let me know. Also, check your emails for a detailed recap of the parent meeting.

Again, I want to apologize for accidentally scheduling the meeting on the same night as the JV Football game. That got completely by me when I originally scheduled this a couple of weeks ago. I am glad that you got to see them win again, though!
