Announcements for week of 2/19

  1. The Midwinter Band Concert
    • Date: Thursday 2/21
    • Call time for Concert Band students is 5:30pm. Call time for Symphonic Band is 5:45
    • Students should arrive and immediately change into their concert uniform so that yearbook pictures can be taken promptly at 6pm.
    • Remember to bring the appropriate attire for the concert: Tux shirt, black socks and shoes for guys; black hose and black shoes for girls.
    • Concert Band students should bring 2 dozen cookies (homemade or store-bought) for the post-concert reception. Symphonic Band students will provide refreshments for the May concert.
  2. Jazz Lab Band is canceled this week due to SPC and the Band Concert. We will resume next week.
  3. The final Pep Band game is Friday 2/22. Call time is 4:15. Aux Sable 8th graders will be here and pizza will be served.
  4. Concert Band students: Playing tests over our concert music will begin Friday 2/22 during class. This is a 25 point playing test. Please also remember that you may come in to re-take your scale tests if you would like to improve your score.
  5. Parent volunteers are needed to chaperone the 3/8 Concert Band Trip to Metamora, IL. We also are looking for a few parents interested in driving the band trailer down to Metamora with us. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Dortwegt.
  6. There are still 7 Concert Band students who have not turned in trip consent forms for our trip to Metamora and PICBF. These forms are now 3 weeks late! You cannot participate in our trips if this form is not turned in - meaning your grade will suffer. Please ask your students if they have turned in this form.
