   12/19 - Cheesecake pick-up, 5-7pm in the band room
2. Thank you to all who helped with the collage concert!  We could not have done it without our parent volunteers!  The students had a magnificent performance despite some crazy circumstances (fire alarms!).
3. We will be taking individual photos of students in their concert uniform/with instruments during band periods on Thursday and Friday) this week.  Male students need to remember to bring their tuxedo shirts to school!  Students DO NOT need to have their black shoes/socks, as the photos will be from the waist up.
4. Cheesecake/Coffee/Tea Pick up is next Monday, 12/19, from 5-7pm.  It is possible that the pick-up time was printed differently in a previous e-mail/letter.  Please check your calendars to make sure you have the correct time - 5-7pm!

Food Drive

Please help the Cougar Music Department help those in need this holiday season!

Tonight at the Collage Concert we will be having our 2nd annual food drive.  We will collect canned goods and other non-perishable food items and then donate them to a local food pantry.  If you can donate, please drop off your items in the donation box located at the main entrance to the auditorium.

Sorry for the late notice.  We will collect items up until next week Monday in case you don't have anything ready for this evening.

Thank you!

Collage Week - PARENT HELP NEEDED

Collage Week: The collage concert is a combined band and choir event. At this concert, we create a continuous flow of music for the entire show, meaning there are smooth transitions and no applause in between pieces. To achieve this effect, we need additional rehearsal time. The schedule for next week is:

• Tuesday, 12/6 – Rehearsal 2:30-7:00pm
• Wednesday, 12/7 – Rehearsal 2:30-7:00pm
• Thursday, 12/8 – Performances at 6:30pm and 8:15pm
• Friday, 12/9 – Emergency date for concert in case of weather

Rehearsals: Students should bring homework, as they will not be performing during the entire time. There will not be an “official” dinner break; instead, students may bring a sack lunch to eat during free time.

Performances: Both performances are on the same night: 12/8. Two performances are scheduled to accommodate large crowds. Because of parent work commitments, we anticipate more people at the 8:15 concert. Therefore, if you can make it to the 6:30 concert, you are encouraged to attend at that time. Note: The Friday date will occur ONLY if we have inclement weather on one of the other dates.

Parent Supervision Needed: Since directors are often not in the room, it is important to have adult supervision each evening.  If you can help supervise the band room during one of the following shifts, please click here.  WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO PARENTS SIGNED UP TO HELP!

Reminder: Barnes & Noble - Friday, 12/2

Don't forget about the Barnes & Noble Book Fair which will be held Friday, December 2nd!
