Championship football is here! Pep Band will perform this Saturday, December 3 at the championship football game featuring the Pioneer and Los Gatos. We will meet at PHS at 5:30 (subject to change) and take a school bus over to the game. Kickoff is at 7. We will return to PHS by bus at about 10:00- depending on how the game goes. We may need parent chaperones. Watch the blog for any changes to the plans.
Join us for our first ever music fundraiser night at Chevy's on Almaden. If you bring this flier
Chevy's will donate 25% of your ticket to our program. Join with
friends and family for lunch, happy hour or dinner and support PHS Music
while you do. Thanks to Ileen Urban for arranging this fundraiser.
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.
West Side Story information and first rehearsals are Monday and Tuesday from 6-8 in my room. We will

Have you paid for your dress, tux and other expenses? If not, please make payments ASAP! There are many students who have not yet paid for items. If you plan to fundraise- do so! If you have questions about your account, contact me and I can email you that information. Remember, all checks are made payable to "Pioneer Performing Arts."
Just 15 days left this semester! Do you need to do makeup work? Any late assignments lingering? Big projects to get done? Plan ahead while you have time to do these things- if you wait until finals, you may not get them done! Talk to your teachers and most important, follow through if they extend deadlines for you.
