Did you see the 2011-12 ensemble lists yet?
Finale Concerts are this week! Beginning Band, Concert Band & Wind Ensemble will perform Wednesday the 18th. Call times are; Wind Ensemble 6:00, Concert Band 6:15, and Beginning Band 6:30. String Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Band perform Thursday the 19th. Symphony students will rehearse at 5:45, Jazz Band students call is 6:15. Both concerts are at 7:00 in the PAC. Use our facebook event page- here for bands- here for orchestra and jazz- to invite your friends and family! After the concerts, students who have not yet played their audition will play their audition as their final. I can take about 5-8 students per period, and will start with volunteers, but once those run out, I'll just call students up- be ready!
Live Review forms are due this week! Be sure to check out the Live Music page for more info!
Students who participated in the Simply Delicious fundraiser- your items will be delivered to school Friday at about 2:30 (after school). These items are delivered frozen, so you must arrange to get the items distributed on Friday!
Jazz
Band has been asked to perform at the Senior Awards night on Thursday,
May 26. We will perform from 5:30-6:00, break for the awards, then play
after the awards ceremony. We will provide a pizza dinner to the non-seniors during the ceremony. After the ceremony, we will play while those in attendance are socializing in the quad.
Graduation is Thursday, June 2! All non-seniors in Wind Ensemble are required to perform. This will be part of the students' final grade. Students will not be in concert black, but rather in summer resort casual. Boys in slacks and a collared shirt (long sleeves encouraged), girls may wear skirts or dresses (appropriate length) or pants. No students may wear shorts or jeans! We will ride over on a school bus at about 4:30 for the ceremony which is at 6:00. Students may ride home with their parents following the ceremony if they check out with me first, but any student with a school instrument without a summer contract MUST return to the school to return the instrument! The bus will return us to PHS immediately following the ceremony (by 8:00). We'll be out in the sun, so I encourage students to bring water, hats, sunglasses and sun block.
