Congratulations to all of the students for their outstanding performances this past week! I am so proud of the progress we've made this year and the music we are able to make in performance. If you missed these concerts, you missed some truly great music making!
All students should be ready to perform their final audition Monday in class. It may take several days to get through everyone, but all students should be prepared Monday. Students who elect not to play when it's their turn will earn a zero grade for this final assignment which will drop their overall grade.
Join us Wednesday night at Blue Rock BBQ (Meridian & Foxworthy) for our last dinner fundraiser of the year. Bring the flier from your concert program last week, or from your student this week and present it when you order and 20% will be donated back to the Pioneer music program! The fundraiser runs all day from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm.
Jazz Band will perform Thursday night at the Senior Awards night from 5:30-6:00. Call time for setup is 5:00 and we should be done with clean up at about 6:15. Formal attire. Seniors will join us during the performance dressed as they will be to attend the ceremony.
Graduation is next week! Wind Ensemble (and guests) will meet at about 3:30 on Thursday the 31st to bus over to the Rose Garden and return by bus by approximately 8:00 pm. Attire is summer formal. Boys should wear dress slacks, a dress shirt and tie. Girls should wear a summer dress or skirt that is at least knee length when seated (or pants) and a nice top. All students should bring water, sunglasses and a hat as we'll be in the sun for about 90 minutes. Students with a school instrument who do not have a summer contract must return their instrument to me back at PHS after the ceremony. No exceptions.
Finally, I asked for signups for parents who are interested in joining our Booster group next school year. If you didn't sign up for that, or don't remember, please send me an email with your name so that I can have a list of interested parents before school lets out. We will have at least one organizational meeting during the summer.
