October 22-26

Our Fall Concert is Wednesday 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 have here!  Get more concert info and invite your family and friends with our facebook event pageCall times for each ensemble are as follows-
String Orchestra 6:15
Wind Ensemble 6:20
Jazz Band 6:30
Students should get their instruments and put them in the PAC in the case.  All students will watch the performance, unless there isn't enough space, in which case, Orchestra will wait in the classroom until they go on stage to save room for the audience.

Homecoming Football is this Friday.  Pep Band students are reminded that they are to wear blue jeans and their pep band polo shirt.  The only thing performers may wear over their polo is their band jacket. Students may, however, wear a solid color long sleeved shirt that is blue, black, grey or white.  I have a few extra jackets for sale for $40 each.

Jazz Band will be participating in the West Valley Jazz Festival next Friday, November 2.  The plan is to visit Castillero in the morning, have lunch on the way over to the college and participate in the festival after lunch.  We should be back to Pioneer by about 3:30.  We parent drivers who can be with us throughout the day- 18 students plus our gear.  If you are able to drive, contact me ASAP.  All volunteer drivers must have the SJUSD Driver forms on file with the school office current this school year.  Let me know if you have questions about these forms.  Final schedule TBD.
