November 13-16

The fall Coffee Fundraiser kicked off last week.  I can accept the signup forms until Tuesday but online sales are ongoing.  For more info, check out last week's post.

Please take a moment to review the information about the Band & Orchestra Benefit scheduled for February 9, 2013.  Parents who are interested in updates about what's going on can join us at our next Booster meeting on November 20 at 7:30 in my room. Calling all artists- I would like to include a student designed cover for the program. Check out the event page for more info.  I'll be updating that page with information as the event gets closer. I'm very excited for what promises to be a fun evening with engaging music, a raffle, a silent auction and more.

The Music Department is working with the Drama department to host the 5th annual Holiday Boutique on Saturday, November 24 from 10-4 in the PAC.  The event features some 50 local craftspeople and vendors and is a great place to go shopping for holiday gifts and other needs.  This is also a fundraiser for us as each vendor pays a small fee to participate in the event.  Debbie Michels & Michelle Takeuchi are coordinating our efforts and will need a few volunteers during the event.  Please contact me if you would be able to help with this event in any way.

I have updated the Live Music page of my blog with some performances in November & December.  If you haven't yet turned in your Live Review, be sure you go and see one of the many great local music ensembles and turn the review in.  For those students with excused absences from prior events, you must submit your Live Review for the missed event to be excused.  Please note on the review which event you missed so I can clear it more quickly.

Our next Booster Club meeting is on Tuesday, November 20 at 7:30 in my room.  Please join us and keep up with all that's going on.

Our Winter Concerts are scheduled for December 5 (Beginning Band, Concert Band & Wind Ensemble) and December 6 (Orchestra & Jazz Band).  Both concerts are at 7:00 in the Pioneer PAC at 7:00 and admission is free.
