Announcements:

HOLY SMOKES DID YOUR BAND DIRECTOR MESS UP! The solo and enselmble dates have already passed us by for signing up. We need to send the info out by monday afternoon or they won't accept us. Don't worry, there is no penalty for the participants, just plenty of penance (sp?) for the band director. If you are reading this prior to monday, you might want to figure out if you want to do S&E and who with in advance so it will be easier on monday. Solo and ensemble districts will be feb 14 (yes valentine's day). Solo events are $7.00 and ensemble events are approx $7.00 per participant per event. Your piece needs to be 2 minutes long to qualify and has to be "classical" music (the judges get really mad if you bring "the little mermaid's greatest hits")


-Pizza Orders are due on monday dec 1 with the money. NO LATE ORDERS BECAUSE WE ARE SENDING OUT THE MONEY THAT DAY!!!!
