February 14-18

$9,584.99
That's how much money students currently owe the instrumental music program!  There are still students who owe for part of their tour, performing attire or other miscellaneous items.  Every student will receive a balance statement in class tomorrow showing their current standing.  Please ask your student to share this information with you and send payment (cash or check to "Pioneer Music/ Drama Boosters) ASAP.  Also, we are looking for 2-4 more parent chaperones for our trip.  The cost is $425, but I'm working to lower that by up to $50.  If you are interested, contact me ASAP.  I will be off campus attending the California All-State music conference (CMEA/ CBDA/ CODA/ CAJ) Thursday and Friday, so please send all payments by Wendesay.  Contact me if you know you will need some financial extension.

Beginning Band students will take their final playing test in the red book Tuesday & Wednesday of this week on the solo at the back of the book.  Students should purchase the blue book during the break and bring that with them when classes resume February 28.

Thanks again to all the parents who helped to produce the Big Band Dance!  Through their help, and through your attendance and support, we were able to raise more money this year than we ever have- thanks in no small part to the amazing silent auction chaired by Dan Vezinaw.  We are looking for a few parents to join us next year as we plan for Big Band Dance 2012.  I hope you will consider partnering with us in support of your child's music education.
