All the girls' dresses have been delivered and distributed. Dresses will need to be hemmed for length, and may need slight alterations for sizing, but overall the fittings went well. Please make payment of $65 to "Pioneer Performing Arts" as soon as possible. The boys' tuxedos will be delivered this week and will cost $140. Checks should be made out to "Selix Formalwear" on pickup. Students planning to use fundraising, or to pay over time will be paying "Pioneer Performing Arts." Please arrange payment as soon as possible.
Have you checked out the information about outside performances you can attend on the Live Music page? Every student is required to complete one Live Review each semester. Students who have been given an extra Live Review as an alternate assignment will have a "0" in the original assignment until the Live Review is submitted. Contact me if you have questions about this assignment.
Many students who RSVP'd yes to our 2012 Tour have not yet turned in their deposit! PLEASE- the deposit and tour contract MUST be turned in ASAP otherwise we will not be able to travel! The second payment of $150 is due November 7 (just 3 weeks). This means that every student and chaperone should have paid or fundraised up to $250 by that point! If you have questions about the trip, or RSVP'd yes and need to change that information, please contact me right away!
Our Pep Band has been much more successful after they have had a chance to eat pizza at the games. I need a parent who can pick up the pizza (about 10 of them) at the Costco on Almaden at about 5:00 and bring it to my room. You do not have to order the pizza or pay for the pizza- just pick it up at about 5:00 and bring it back to PHS. I have done this for the last 2 games but cannot continue this additional project on an already busy performance day. If you can help with this, please contact me. The next games are Friday, October 28 and Thursday, November 9
The Jazz Band will be performing at the West Valley Jazz Festival on Friday, November 4. Details are TBA, but I will need 3-5 parent drivers for the day. If you have your driver forms turned in to the office, and are able to drive- please contact me to let me know.
Did you do your Program Notes? If not- get them turned in! Better late for a partial deduction than not at all for no credit. Don't remember what that is? Read the assignment info here. (Only applies to Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band.)
