Join the Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band for our Spring Concert on Wednesday at 7:00 in the PAC! More information, including program info is posted on Facebook, here. Call time for band students is 6:30, orchestra students is 6:45. Students who are swimming the final events in the swim meet should plan accordingly! Because the track meet was moved to Thursday, the performance will still begin at 7:00 in the PAC. Admission is free!
Audition Information- for questions or to sign up for your audition time, check out the Audition Info page. If you're a new freshman next year, be sure to attend Freshman Planning Night this Tuesday from 6:00- 7:30 in the PAC. Whatever band class you plan to audition for, know that everyone just signs up for band and I'll place you in the correct ensemble. Orchestra is the same- just sign up for orchestra then do your audition after the break.
There has been a change of plans for our Spring Trip April 26-27.
Due to the SF Symphony strike, I had to cancel our booking with the SFS
and have instead booked tickets for us to see jazz legend Chick Corea
in concert Friday night! This will be a great program! Check out the Tour 2013 page for more info.

Congratulations to all those who were a part of making Hello, Dolly! such a success! We entertained well over 1,200 guests over the course of 6 performances on two weekends. Now that the show is over, I hope you take some time to get caught back up with your school work and with your families.

Jazz Band will be performing with Castillero's Jazz Around Town fundraiser on Saturday night at San Jose State University. Call time for our students is 7:15 in the lobby to the music building. Once we meet together, we'll head to a warm up room while we wait for our turn on stage. I expect that we'll be finished by about 8:30 or so. Please know that this is Castillero's big fundraising performance and so if you'd like tickets, please let me know. Also be aware that because the performance is on the campus of SJSU most parking will have a cost, so please plan accordingly.
Our Spring Concert is next Wednesday, April 3 at 7:00 in the PAC and features Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band. Admission will be free.

Audition Information has been posted! Be sure to get the information and sign up for your audition time. Click here to go to my Audition Info page.
Come check out the Pioneer production of Hello, Dolly! this Friday and Saturday and next Wednesday through Saturday. Curtain is at 7:00 and tickets are available at lunch in the quad or at the door prior to each production.
The Jazz Band will be performing with Castillero for their annual "Jazz Around Town" fundraiser concert Saturday evening March 30 at San Jose State. I don't have the details yet, but anticipate the call time will be between 6-7 and the students should be done by about 9:30. For information about ticket orders, please contact me.
A gentle reminder as we get back into our Listening Logs; students who are absent are welcome to make up their work on Monday during S period. Also, if students need extra time or additional help with the writing process, they should come in during S period. This week, I will even grant an extension to those students who were in class, but just wasted time and didn't get the assignment done. Moving forward, however, students who are in class but don't do the assignment will not get any additional support. Students who are absent or students who need more support will always be welcome to come in during S period and complete their work.
Plan to join us on Wednesday, April 3 for our Spring Concert. Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band will be presenting all new music that we've been working on since the Benefit Concert. The program will begin at 7:00 and admission will be free.
I'd like to thank the following parents who are scheduled to chaperone our San Francisco weekend; Mr and Mrs Hubbard, Mrs Liebscher, Mrs Raimondi, Mrs Schumway Lipps, Mrs Yetkinler, Mrs Archambault, Mrs Thompson and Mr Carrillo. We are looking for one more dad who could travel with us. If you can join us, please contact me ASAP- chris_mccoy [at] sjusd [dot] org. If you have any payments left, please make those right away. If you need to extend your payments, do extra fundraising or need more financial help, let me know so that I can arrange that for you.
