Now that we have moved past the marching season, when you read this email, you can read only the sections that pertain to your child (based on the band in which they play):Percussion Ensemble (1st hour)
Concert Band 2 (2nd hour)
Concert Band 1 (3rd hour)
Symphonic Band (4th hour)
Everybody
The band banquet is next Monday, Nov 23rd. The event officially starts at 7pm, however, we will start serving dinner around 6:30 so the line is not too long at 7. Traditionally, this is a dress-up event, so please have your child dress up for the banquet.
If you RSVP’d for more than 3 people, I will be collecting the additional $10/head at the front of the food line.
If you RSVP’d for less than 3 people, I will be transferring the other $10/head into your son/daughter’s music parents account to be spent on next year’s fees or trip.
A reminder that ALL students in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th hours are required to participate in 5 pep band performances. They have been assigned to one of the bands and have 5 specific dates to get on their calendar now. The first games are in January. Attached you will find the personnel lists AND schedule for each band. Please get these in your calendar now.
Percussion Ensemble
In addition to preparing music for our winter concert as an ensemble, each member of this class is performing WITH one of the three concert bands. This can/will change after each concert. Please make sure your student explains which group they are performing with so you can be aware.
Winter Concert is Monday, December 7th at 6pm.
