Monday- another box of dresses will arrive. Please assure proper fit of your dress immediately and make needed alterations quickly so that as many girls as possible can wear their ensemble dress for the Veteran's Day performance.
Also on Monday the first round of coffee/ cookie mix will be delivered from the We Care Coffee Company for the fundraiser. The students who requested to participate in writing will receive their materials Monday after school. Please sell the product as quickly as possible. All payments for materials should be made to "Pioneer Music/ Drama Boosters." Any student who would like to order additional materials or who would like to participate for the first time will be able to place an additional order by Monday, November 29. Those who participate in this round will take delivery prior to the Christmas holiday and will be able to sell over the break. If you missed out on round one and would like to join us, or just want to sell more, the order form is online here.
Veteran's Day Tribute, Wednesday
2:30-4:30 mandatory rehearsal in the PAC (7th period students excused from the rehearsal)
6:15 all student call time dressed in room 107.
7:00 program begins
After the program all students must first strike the stage into room 107, then they will be dismissed from the band room. We ask that families bring a plate of cookies or similar snack food for this event. As a free event open to the community, we want to put our best foot forward and welcome them to Pioneer and thank those veterans who have served. A reminder about attire- all boys must be in tuxes and all girls should be in their current ensemble dress. If a girl's dress is not yet in, she may wear last year's dress or elegant concert black. Skirts/ dresses must fall below the knee when seated and the blouse/ top must cover the shoulder. Slacks are also acceptable.
Also on Wednesday- LA Tour Payment #2 of $100 is due. All students who have paid the deposit and turned in the contract should continue to make these payments. In order for us to pay our travel company, we must to have money from all participants. We are still looking for several chaperones. If you are interested, contact me or submit your deposit and contract. Students who have not yet paid a deposit may still join us with a $150 payment and submission of the Tour Contract. All tour info is on my blog.
Friday, November 12 is our final home football game of the 2010 season. I know that the students are out of class that day, but we will still perform for our football team. Call time is 6:00 in room 107 as usual.
A reminder about money- all students must pay for their performing attire! Tuxes are $125 and dresses $65. Students who did not take advantage of the current fundraiser are expected to make payment in full or in part right away. Students who would like to make payments need to make those arrangements with me directly as soon as possible.
