Announcements for week of 1/12/2009

Welcome back to school! Here are some updates from the Band Program:

1. Upcoming Schedule:
   1/9 - Pep Band, 5:45pm
   1/13 - Band Booster Meeting, 7:30pm
   1/23 - Pep Band (with middle school students), 4:15pm
   1/28-31 - IMEA All-State
   1/31 - Pizza Fundraiser pick-up (see below)
   
2. We are offering the Pizza Fundraiser again in January. This is a completely optional fundraiser, and all profits from sales will go into student accounts. It is a fantastic way to raise money for the Florida Trip or pay off student debt (of which there is still $4,000 outstanding!!!) The dates of the fundraiser are 1/9-1/20. The pizzas will be made and picked up on Saturday, 1/31. Sell lots, as this is Superbowl weekend and pizzas make great party food! Order forms are available in the band room.
   
3. The Band Final Exam consists of a performance test on scales and a written exam. Scale testing has begun already, so please make sure your students are practicing. The written portion will be given on 1/14. Students have received a study guide and should review it before taking the test.
