Band Banquet

The Band Banquet is Saturday, May 11 at 6 pm.  High School Band members are free.  Each guest will be $12 ($10 for 12 and under).  ALL Band members are invited (Marching, Concert, Jazz Bands)!  Seniors, make a special effort to be there as many of the proceedings will be in your honor.  There is a sign-up sheet in the Band Room.  Try to let me know by Friday if you will be attending the Banquet so that we can get the food ordered.

* If you plan on leaving with your parents after the parade route is over, I will need a note
signed by the parent. You cannot leave with a friend or cousin, it must be a parent.

Concert Report time

Students need to report at 6:45 pm to the cafetorium tomorrow in their concert attire (no jeans, no shorts, no T-shirts, conservative dresses).  Concert will begin at 7:30 and is free to everyone.

Changes

A reminder of a couple of changes:  The Concert next Tuesday, April 16 starts at 7:30; and the Outdoor concert originally scheduled for April 25 has been cancelled.

Booster Mtg, part 2

I will have the complete fall schedule ready at this meeting. The only thing that will not be finalized is the October 26 contest. I have not yet chosen which one we will be going to. This schedule will have every date of every performance and rehearsal from June to the end of December.
At the meeting, I will have the chaperone and pit crew sign-up sheets for every game and contest. If you can't make it to all the games, that is ok. If you can only make it to one thing, that is ok. I just want you to be involved as much as you can. We are going to be a little more organized with the pit crew this year, so if you have no idea what the pit crew does, we will have it all written out to where anyone can help at any performance.
