Dates

I was reminded that I had afterschool rehearsals on the calender for this Tuesday and Thursday. I have decided to cancel these rehearsals. Everyone is in the same class at the same time, and everyone has been working hard on the Parade music, so there is no need to have these rehearsals.

The next Band Booster meeting is this Thursday at 6:30pm in the Medina MS Band Room. I will be unveiling the Band Uniforms for next year, and we will be discussing fundraisers and voting in officers.

The Christmas Parade is this Saturday, Dec. 5. They need to meet downtown at 3 pm. I have pushed this back from the original calender time, as I have learned it will not take that long to set the parade line-up.

Preliminary Fruit Orders Due

Please take a count of how many of each Fruit you have sold so far and turn it in Tuesday, Nov, 24. Simply put the name of the Fruit and how many you have sold on a piece of paper and turn it in with your student Tuesday. Or, if you choose, e-mail it to me at southgibsonband@gmail.com. Remember that final orders are due Monday, Nov. 30.

Band pictures Monday

All athletic teams will have their pictures made Monday, Nov. 16. Band students need to wear their black button up shirts that they wore for the Ensemble concert along with khaki pants and a belt.

Reminders

First, remember the Booster meeting this Thursday, Nov. 5, at 6:30 in the MMS band room. We will vote in the by-laws, and kick-off the fruit fundraiser.

Also, remember to support our neighbors, the Gibson County High School Band, as they travel this weekend to the Division II State Championship this weekend.

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.
