October 15-19

Booster Club meeting this Wednesday at 7:30pm in my classroom.  For the first few minutes we will cover old business and general information.  The bulk of this meeting will focus on planning for the Band & Orchestra Benefit concerts in February.  Make sure you attend as we will lay our our plans for successful events!

Thursday night will be our second dining partner night of the year.  Join us Thursday at Le Bon on Santa Teresa from 5-9 and bring this flier!  Here's their website, and here are some helpful Yelp reviews if you aren't familiar with their food.  Le Bon is located across from Oakridge in the same shopping center as Babies R Us and Mandarin Gourmet, next to the Vitamin Shop.  Get more info and invite your friends with this Facebook event.

Jazz Band- did you turn in your Reno contract and deposit yet?  We need all 18 students and 4 parents to make this event successful.  Saturday, Jazz Band will perform at the Allen at Steinbeck walk-a-thon from 10:30-11:00 am.  Students should wear their casual performing attire and plan to be there by 10:00 to set up.  Friday November 2 is the WVC Jazz Festival.  We are scheduled for an afternoon performance, so I'm working with Mr. Bowman to schedule a recruitment visit to Castillero.

Our Fall Concert is next Wednesday, October 24 at 7:00 in the PAC.  This free concert will feature our Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble and String Orchestra as well as special guests the Castillero Jazz Band and Chamber Orchestra.  We've been making some great music this year and you won't want to miss out!  This is a great opportunity for us to put on display the things which make Pioneer so great- and our music ensembles and parent support are outstanding!  Let's show our guests what a great opportunity they and their student will have here!

Our next football game is Friday, October 26.  There will not be a group dinner as there will be other activities associated with homecoming.  The following game is November 9 and there will be a chili dinner hosted by Christy Hubbard.  If we make playoffs, the first game will be November 16.

All Tuxes will be delivered on Tuesday!  Please make payment of $145 for the complete tux to "Pioneer Performing Arts" if you have not yet done so.  You must take your tuxedo home on Tuesday!  If you have sports or some after school activity, your parent can pick it up after school for you.  If you are unable to do this, contact me so that you can arrange a pick up time on Tuesday.  Please try on your tux and make sure it fits.  Tuxes were measured a bit big so that growing students would be able to wear the tux for more than one season.  If alterations are needed, take it to Selix across from the Pruneyard in Campbell.
