Pictures from Washington Trip

Good morning! I hope you recovered easily from our long journey to/from DC last week.

Wanted to provide you with an opportunity to get professional quality pictures from our trip. Throughout the trip, you probably noticed Jeremy Flowers, father of Logan, taking pictures non-stop. You now have the opportunity to purchase a DVD of all of the pictures, or individual pictures printed in professional quality.

If you are interested, please download the attached document, fill it out, and return it with the correct amount of money to the lock boxes in the instrumental/vocal classrooms.

This needs to be done by THIS Thursday, April 2nd.

Jeremy will be at the Band/Orchestra Concert that evening if you have further questions.

In addition, our videographer, Kegun Selley, will be selling his DVD soon. More info to follow.

Titan Pride Update

Thursday, April 2nd is our Pre-Contest Concert and Mattress Fundraiser Parent Meeting! Here is the schedule of events for that evening:

6:40 Call time for Concert Band in the Choir Room and Symphonic Band in Band Room
7:00 Band Concert begins
7:35 Band Concert ends/Parent meeting for ALL students/parents begins
7:55 All are dismissed

NOTE: Attendance by students and parents at the fundraiser meeting is CRUCIAL to the success of the fundraiser. This is why I scheduled it on a night where we are all already at school for the concert. For every parent in attendance, the band will be given $5 (up to $500), so thank you in advance for making this evening a priority.

Wednesday, April 8th is State Large Ensemble Contest for the Concert Band. Performance time is 3:00pm. This means students MUST bring their concert uniform to school with them on Wednesday, April 8th. They can hang it up in the band room before school.

Friday, April 11th is State Large Ensemble Contest for the Symphonic Band. Performance time is 3:30pm. This means students MUST bring their concert uniform to school with them on Friday, April 11th. They can hang it up in the band room before school.

Have a great week!

Volunteers Needed

District music contest will be here in 2 short weeks and there are still a number of volunteer positions to be filled. There are 9 open spots on Friday, March 6th and about 30 open spots on Saturday, March 7th.

The kids probably will not receive their performance times until next week. If you happen to volunteer during the time your child performs, I will arrange the schedule so that you can still hear them perform. I compare the performance times for each child to the times that the parents have volunteered. If there is a conflict, then I will either assign you to your child’s room or arrange for you to switch with another parent when it is time for them to perform.

Student volunteers will also be needed on Friday and Saturday. Student sign-up sheets will be posted outside the choir room later this week. Also, we still need individuals to volunteer to assist with the Taste of Lee’s Summit on the evening of Saturday, March 7th. Please sign up in Charms if you are able to assist with this wonderful event that raises so much money for the school district and music program.

Music Festivals @ LSW – Volunteers Needed

Greetings!

The music festival is quickly approaching, and we need your help to ensure its success. Lee’s Summit West has done a great job hosting this event in the past, and we are looking forward to hosting it again. For those of you that are new to the program, the festival is six days filled with music where students have the opportunity to showcase their considerable talents. (See the attached document for more details describing the festival and volunteer descriptions.)

Festival dates are:

  • Friday, March 6th (vocal solos/ensembles)
  • Saturday, March 7th (instrumental solos/ensembles)
  • Wednesday, April 8th (2nd bands)
  • Thursday, April 9th (orchestras)
  • Friday, April 10th (1st bands)
  • Saturday, April 11th (choirs)

We cannot host the festival without many volunteers. Over the six days we will need about 350 volunteers. We are asking each family to volunteer for at least two shifts. It is a great way to help the music department, support your child, and get to know some other great music parents.

An added bonus is that you will hear some very talented students and groups. And no musical talent is required for any of the volunteer opportunities!

The festival also provides a number of jobs where students can assist; it’s a great way to fulfill their volunteer hours!

Student volunteer sign-ups will be posted on the choir room doors shortly.

Check out the calendar on Charms and volunteer to assist with this great event.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your support!
