5/14-5/18

The penultimate week of classes!  Before we are done, though- we have several very important things to take care of.  If you missed the tour information, get it here.  If you are looking for the ensemble rosters for next year, click here.  Also note that the 2012-2013 performing schedule is posted as well!

Your Live Review is due Friday!  If you've not done this yet- get all the info on the Live Music page and get out to a concert!

Finale Concerts- Wednesday & Thursday at 7:00 in the PAC, free admission.  Wednesday night will feature Beginning Band, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble.  Thursday night will feature String Orchestra and Jazz Band.  Call time for performers is 6:30.  Please be prompt and plan to stay through the duration of the concert.  Both concerts should be about an hour and a half in length.


BBQ Dinner Fundraiser- Wednesday the 23rd at Blue Rock BBQ.  Bring the flier and the band & orchestra will get 20% of your dinner bill.  Join us for great BBQ and support your student's music education at the same time.

Jazz Band @ Senior Awards Night- Thursday the 24th here at PHS in the quad.  Formal performing attire.  Seniors may dress as they will to attend the ceremony.  Call time 5:00 to set up, then we will perform from 5:30-6:00 to play families into the PAC.  We will not play at the end of the event as we did last year.

Graduation- Wind Ensemble students and those who are invited to join us- Thursday, June 1.  Call time at PHS will be about 3:30.  We will bus over to the rose garden and bus back after (approx. return time 7:30-8:30, depending on the ceremony and traffic).  All students performing with a school instrument MUST check the instrument in with me back at PHS after the performance.  Students with personal instruments or summer instrument contracts are not required to return to PHS.

Finally, if you are among the 22 students who owe the program a combined $1,578, please make your payments immediately!  I can no longer delay payments as we are at the end of the year.  If you have questions about your balance, contact me.  To those of you with a positive balance, you will carry that over to start next year.
