The countdown has begun! Just 2 weeks until Big Band Dance! Get all the *updated* details on the Big Band Dance page on my blog and use our Facebook event to invite friends and family! Students can continue to sell raffle tickets this week earning 80% of the proceeds directly into their student account! Make sure your student takes home some raffle tickets this week as all proceeds or unsold tickets must be returned by Tuesday, February 1. Be sure to get your ticket order form in to avoid waiting in line at the event. In addition to great music, dancing and snacks, we have a great set of silent auction prizes lined up this year! Whatever your interest- sports, arts, hotels, meals out, you will find a package that interests you! Bring your checkbook and get a great prize while supporting your Pioneer Instrumental Music program!
Jazz Band will participate in CMEA Jazz Festival on Friday, February 4. Get all the details at my previous post. Jazz Band students will also perform on this Thursday, January 27 at 6:45 in the gym for the Pioneer recruitment night. Students are to be dressed in their formal performing attire at 6:15 and will be done at 7:00, just in time to head back to the band room for 42nd Street rehearsal. This is a required performance, and a great chance to showcase the ensemble and program to prospective Pioneer families.
Rehearsals for 42nd street begin today! This is a fun show with a great jazz style book. Students interested should come to the first rehearsal tonight- Monday, January 24 from 7-9. More info on the 42nd Street page here.
Next week will be our February Boosters meeting as well as our final Big Band Dance planning meeting. Boosters starts at 7:30 and the BBD meeting will follow that immediately at about 8:00. Do you have experience with accounting or bookkeeping? We are looking for a new parent to serve as treasurer in the coming year, and it will make the transition much smoother to observe for a short while. This is a critical job and does require some time, but is by no means too much to handle for the right person. If you are interested in this, or just in finding out more about how you can take an active role supporting your student's music education, join us!
