Great job to the Pep Band for their performance at the first game of the season! We had a great time and there is nothing like a Friday night football game to kick off a long weekend. I hope everyone enjoyed their day off.
Here is what's coming up this week-
Boys who need all or part of a tux will be measured on Wednesday in class. Unfortunately, the price for the tuxedo has gone up to $140 this year, but it will be a new tux rather than a previously rented tux. I will be distributing forms Monday for each student to indicate what parts (or all) of the tux he needs.
Back-to-School night is Thursday! Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band will perform in the quad before the classes start. Their call time is 5:30 and they will be done by 6:00, before parents begin first period. Students should wear the same things they wore at the football game. Be sure to attend and find out what's going on in your student's class and how you can support your student!
All beginning band students have been assigned their instrument for this year. Students should make arrangements to purchase the other accessories that go with their instrument, as I indicated on the information sheet I gave out last week.
Keep selling Entertainment Books! Students can earn $10-$13 per book depending on our overall sales volume. Get more info here.
Next week, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band will have a similar performance
for the Grand Opening of Orchard at Blossom Hill and Meridian. The
performance is Saturday the 17th from 8:00-11:00. We will meet at the
school, walk down to Orchard where we'll perform for about 30 minutes
then drop our things off back at the school. As part of our
performance, Orchard will make a donation to our program!
