ANNOUNCEMENTS:
-Bottle drive this Saturday
-We need some Stalwart young lads and lasses to play for the convalescent center on wednesday. It would be during 6th hour and a little bit after school. No cash, just goodness of your heart.
-Make sure to take the New York Trip Flyer to your parents! It has all of the information about the New York Trip. Bottom line: 592.00 for kids to go. Dates are April 28-may 2, 2004. First payment to show committment is $50.00 by 12/15/03. All band members including Majorettes, Flags, Pipers, and anyone I have forgotten are invited and elligible to go, pending co- curricular academic elligibility.
-Things are looking worse for Solo and Ensemble. This is no one's fault but mine. Here is(are) the bottom line(s)
1. I was originally 2 business days late. I was told that there were no exceptions for turning in the materials late. I told them fine, we will not be hosting state solo and ensemble (a big problem for them). I am waiting for a reply, but it does not look good.
2. If we are not able to send in the forms, we will be doing our own solo and ensemble festival. I will hire a set of judges that are either comparable or better than the judges seen at district S&E, they will not have to go to farmington, it will cost less per kid, and the students will get a longer time to receive comments and help from the clinicians. Actually, not too bad eh?
3. I still feel awful about the whole thing. I humbly apologize for any inconvenience or disapointment this may have caused.
