Happy New Year! Welcome to the Spring Semester
I hope that you and your family had a restful time together these two weeks off of school. The month of January will be a busy one as we are gearing up for our Big Band Dance in Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band. I have created a page with all of the info you need here on my blog that includes information about tickets, auction items and anything else you may want to know. Please check out the info there and send it to your friends and family who may also want to attend. This month, there are free dance lessons offered to all Pioneer families to get ready for the BBD. Get all the info on the Big Band Dance page.
The next $100 payment for our LA Trip is due this week. All students and chaperones should have paid $250 to this point. I will make account statements to send home next week. The balance due for students will be $250 and chaperones $175. We are still looking for several chaperones, please contact me if you are interested.
Our January Music/Drama Booster meeting will be this Thursday, January 6 at 7:30 in the Faculty Dining Room. We had a better turnout at our December meeting, and I look forward to continuing that momentum as we continue to work on plans for various activities. There will be a Big Band Dance committee meeting immediately following the booster meeting in my room.
Looking to get a head start on your Live Review for this semester? All band students who review the Santa Clara County Honor Band concert on Sunday, January 16 at 2:00 at Evergreen Valley HS will get double credit (up to 50 extra credit points). Tickets can be purchased at the door for $8 students/ $10 adults.
