Announcements for week of 10/20/08

Congrats to the Cougar band as we completed the competitive marching season with a great show at Downers Grove South HS! Here are some announcements for this week:

1. Schedule:
   Thursday PM - Rehearsal is CANCELED
   Friday - Football Game, Call time 4pm
2. Concert Uniform Fitting: We will try to fit students this Friday during rehearsal. Please have your student bring their black dress shoes (close toed for girls) on Friday afternoon so that we can properly fit the uniforms. Also, all male students will be required to have a tuxedo shirt. We will order one for all freshmen guys for the cost of $12, unless you already have one. Please let us know if that is the case. Returning members can order new shirts if they let us know ASAP.
   
3. Concert Season: We are transitioning to indoor concert season. If you need to check out a school instrument for concert season, be sure to submit your Instrument Check-out Form by the end of this week.
4. Instrument Care: Parents, please reinforce the importance of taking care of one's instrument - especially if it owned by the school. Several students have been leaving their instruments out of the case in their lockers and not inspecting them for damage, which will lead to maintenance problems down the road. Students are responsible for checking their instruments for damage/problems on a daily basis.
   
5. Jazz Band Auditions are this week Tuesday and Wednesday.
6. The second Disney payment was due 10/10. Just a reminder!
7. The Craft Show is this weekend. If you can help, please e-mail a director or Cindy Westfall.
