Wednesday and Thursday, December 7 and 8 at 7:00 in the PAC. Both concerts are free and open to the public. Invite your friends with our facebook event! Click here for Wednesday's bands concert or click here for Thursday's concert. We are asking families to bring cookies or snacks to provide refreshments after each concert. Items can be dropped off at school during the day, or in the evening before the concerts. We also need a few parents each night to help with the setup prior to the concert (about 6:15) and to monitor the table after the program. If you have questions or can help, contact Patty Liebscher by email patty005[at]pacbell[dot]net or 323-9882. We will be taking ensemble yearbook photos in the PAC prior to the concert, so the PAC will not be open for audience members until about 6:30. Concerts will begin promptly at 7:00 and be about an hour each evening.

Great job to the Pep Band for an outstanding job at last week's football game. We will not be playing for the 2nd round playoff game this Friday evening, but will play if the team makes it to the championship game on either Friday, December 2 or Saturday, December 3. The game will be off campus, but we will have school bus transportation provided.
This is the last push for fall fundraising! There are be two main options that students have to earn money- traditional and online. The traditional sale (grab bags) is the highest profit and works great for selling locally. Students request a grab bag and sell all the items (6 bags of coffee, 2 bags of cocoa and 2 bags of cookie dough mix) for a set profit of 50%. There is also a mini grab bag which includes only 2 coffees and 2 cocoas for 48% profit. This form has all the info about the grab bag sale- return this form to participate. Grab Bag request forms must be returned this week! The online store features a bigger catalog of items for purchase and can be shipped across the country. The online store is live now and can be promoted here! The grab bag order form is due before Thanksgiving and items will be delivered prior to Christmas break. For each grab bag you plan to sell, plan on about $50 profit. If you are in the online sale, the profit will be reported to me later in the course of the fundraiser.
I have accepted late work all semester at no deduction so far- and will no longer accept without deduction beyond Wednesday! All make up journal entries must be turned in by Wednesday. I will still accept late work, but will begin to take deductions.
Live reviews are due Friday, December 9. If you have not yet gone out to see a performance for your review, or if you have extra reviews required for any reason- check out my Live Music page for suggested performances over the next few weeks.

Wind Ensemble- mandatory rehearsal Monday during S period to rehearse with the choirs. Also, mandatory rehearsal after school Wednesday (except those with a 7th period or PHS team sport).

Those who plan to attend the concert should arrive early as it is likely to be standing room only.
The last football game of the year is Thursday! I know, there is no school Thursday, but there is still a mandatory football game for the Pep Band. Call time is 6:00, the schedule and expectations are all the same for this game. This is senior night, so be sure and support the 18 band seniors who will be recognized just before the game!
