December 5-9

This will be a busy week so buckle up!

Winter Concerts this week!  Get all the info from the previous post, below.  Please bring cookies or snacks for a reception to follow the concert each evening.  Also note the call times for each student.

Live Review is due on Friday!  I have entered those assignments which have been turned in so far, but most students are missing theirs so far.  Don't forget that if you had an excused absence from a football game, you need to do an extra live review as a make up assignment.  I am giving extra credit to students who attend the alternate night's performance, though this will not be full credit in place of the assignment itself.

Santa Clara County Honor Band auditions are Friday night at SJSU.  Last year, we only had one PHS student audition, but this year we should have several.  I hope that Pioneer will be represented in this ensemble.  For more info, click here and talk with me on Monday.  The concert will be Sunday, January 15 at 2:00 at Gunn HS in Palo Alto.  This will be a double credit Live Review opportunity, mark your calendars now!

I am looking for about 2 or 3 more parent chaperones for our trip to Anaheim in February.  We will have a great time, but we can only travel with adequate parent supervision.  More info is here on my Tour 2012 page, or you can contact me.  Check back soon as I will post our confirmed travel details as soon as they are set (hopefully prior to the Christmas holiday).  We are still waiting on confirmed times for our events with Disney, and our other activities all are secondary to that scheduling.

Finally- Congratulations to the Pep Band and Football team for a great year!  It is only the second time in the history of the school that the team has made it to the CCS Championship game and they did a great job.  Congratulations also to the coaching staff for their work with the team.  Time to hang up the pep band folders for the next 8 months.
