May is coming! All of our veteran band parents/students know how busy the month of May is - especially if you are a graduating senior.
Speaking about Seniors....
Photos:
We still need a copy of Senior baby pictures and Senior pictures from a lot of Seniors....
We also need photos from any band event this school year (this includes all non-Seniors too!)
Please get your photos to Kousa - his email is komoyodo@gmail.com. All photos MUST be received by May 6th in order to be included.
Point Sheets:
Due: Monday, May 4th
Blank copies are located in the sheet shack. Please turn completed ones into the labeled folder on the board by the mailbox. Do NOT hand them directly to Maddie or Mr. Smigell - doing this may result of your forms accidently getting misplaced.
If you have any questions on what counts, how many you have from the past year(s), or anything else - feel free to contact Maddie during the day - or text her at 517-375-5241 or email her at maz36658@gmail.com. Thanks!
Handing in point sheets late may forfeit your points for the year - Please hand them in on time and to the labeled folder!
Lock-In:
We are still in great need of about 10 more chaperones to make this fun yearly event work. Please contact Christyne MacDermaid 734-476-0312, or christynemacdermaid@gmail.com if you can chaperone.
Band Camp:
Thanks to everyone who handed their forms and at least the initial payment on time. Marching band is very close to being full. There is a possibility of a wait list and/or having to turn students away who have not turned in their forms AND initial payment (we have about 30 students have only turned in either a) uncompleted/no forms but the initial payment or b) no initial payment but completed forms).
We would hate to turn students away but it is very possible that we might have to this year.
Please get these papers and the initial payment in ASAP.
