Fruit orders due

One thing that got left out of the announcements was the Fruit orders are due on Tuesday (tomorrow).   I need to get those things in so that we can get them delivered by Christmas Break.

5)  The Christmas parade is this Saturday.  We will meet at Soul's Harbor Church at 3:30 and the parade will start at 4 pm.  You will need to find a ride there and you will need to get your uniform and instrument there.  We will be taking the small band trailer for the drums and Sousaphones.  It will be parked by the Elementary school by 3 pm.  Wear uniforms and Santa hats - plain red and white with no writing on the hats.

Announcements 11/12/17

1)  Yankee Candle orders are due Monday, November 13.  Yankee Candle will charge us a late fee for any orders that come in after this day.  Online orders are not affected by this, the online orders will simple stop accepting new orders after Monday.

2)  Jazz Band will meet 3:30 to 4:30 on Monday.  If you are interested in playing a different style of music, come join us!

3)  Students auditioning for All West Orchestra this Saturday will need to find their way to the audition.  It is at Briarcrest Christian School outside of Memphis.  Make sure your map application is taking you to the high school/middle school.  The elementary school is in a completely different place.

1)  The Fruit sale will begin later this week.  Also remember that the Yankee Candle forms are due back by November 14.

2)  Jazz Band will start next Monday, November 13.  This is for anyone who is interested in playing a different kind of music and can meet every Monday after school from 3:30 to 4:30.  

3)  I want to thank all the students and parents for a great marching season!  It was hot, it was cold, there were some long days, and there was a lot of hard work.  But boy did we make some memories!  I could not ask for a better parent booster group.  I could not ask for a better group of kids.  From the bottom of my heart - Thank you!
