Hello Bandos and Bando Parents!
Wow, it is crazy that marching season is almost over!!! It seems like it just started. I am so proud of the kids so far, and there are so many wonderful things on the horizon!
and now, in the news....
THERE IS A CONCERT NEXT WEEK!!! NEXT TUESDAY AT 6:30PM IN THE 10-12 AUDITORIUM!!! (Yes, the time is correct). The Concert Band, the Symphonic Band, the Wind Ensemble, and the Percussion Ensemble will all be performing!! Report time is 6:00PM. Dress is "Relaxed Dress Casual". This means: No tennis shoes, no flip-flops, no sweatshirts, no jeans, no t-shirts, no sweat pants. Obviously, school clothing rules apply as well. Nice choices for gentlemen: Sweater and slacks, nice shirt and khakis, shirt and tie (pants pulled up, guys!). Nice choices for ladies: Same as gentlemen plus school appropriate skirts, dresses and/or blouses. I suppose the gentlemen can wear skirts too, but this has never occured as of yet. THIS CONCERT IS MANDATORY. If you have a conflict, please let me know now!!! We can almost always work it out!
Pit band postings and a calendar will be out soon!
REPORT TIME FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME THIS FRIDAY IS 4:30!!! This will be a busy day, as we have to acknowledge and thank our seniors, along with tailgate and some section pictures. SENIOR PARENTS/GAURDIANS: you need to have your child fill out the 3X5 card with their name (and how to pronounce it), which parents/guardians are joining them, and what they plan to do after graduation (short description). The Senior band members will be in their uniforms. Some parents/guardians get dressed up, others do not. Senior parent/guardians should be ready to step off with the band at 6:15pm. You can either join us at the stadium or walk over with us from the band room. I know the boosters provide either a flower or a balloon for your senior to present you... It is a nice ceremony and a fitting way to thank them for 4 years of Music, fun, friendship, and hard work.
