Hello Everyone!


Just a couple of things to keep you abreast of things...


I goofed a bit here and forgot to inform people about Solo and Ensemble.

MSBOA solo and ensemble is an individual/small group festival that takes place on feb 5th and 6th, 2010.  The site this year is Hartland High School. 


The due date to register is November 12 (This Thursday).  I HAVE to send the check in postmarked on that date or we get penalized $100.00,  So that date is firm.  I originally said that money had to be in by tomorrow, but I will accept it on the due date itself.  Unfortunately, I cannot accept entries after that. 


Wind and percussion solo: $10.00
Piano Solo $14.00
Duet  $16.00
Trio $21.00
larger ensembles continue at $7.00 per person.

This is an official MSBOA sanctioned event, so if you get a division I (superior) rating, you are elligible for States.  Please speak with me (Mr. Smigell) for more information.


FANTASY OF LIGHTS REHEARSALS are next week November 17, 18, and 19 right after school from 2:30-3:15pm.  The fantasy of lights parade is the day after Thanksgiving in the evening.  There will be more information forthcoming about report times. 

Jazz Band Audtions will be held next week (the week of november 16th).  Audition music will be handed out soon.

Our next concert is December 10th for all ensembles except for marching band.

Ok... Thats about it for now!
