Great job to the Jazz Band for their performance at the West Valley Jazz
Festival on Friday. Thanks to Mrs Grimaud, Mrs Smith, Mrs Canteenwala,
Mrs Kanga, Mr Higa and Mr Carrillo for driving us safely.
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). We will set up in
the PAC first thing after school prior to our run through. The
rehearsal will last until about 3:45. Student call time will be 6:15 in
room 107, but is subject to change.
The Veteran's Day program
is Wednesday at 7:00 in the PAC. There will be a reception prior to
the program from about 5-6:30 in the Library where students and families
can meet our guest of honor, Medal of Honor winner Jon Cavaiani. 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!
Tour Payment #2 is now due! This payment is $150. Those who haven't
paid their deposit should pay $250 to be current! There are many
students who RSVP'd yes to the trip, but have yet to pay any deposit or
do any fundraising. Please get a payment in right away!
Speaking of fundraising- our fall fundraiser is now in progress! We will again use the We Care
Coffee Company to provide our group with the highest quality local
coffee and food products. There will 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. 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.
Finally; if you have yet to get out and see a performance for your Live Review- click on the Live Music page and plan a time to get out and see a concert and complete this assignment! This is due December 9!
