Just wanted to give you an update on a couple of things that we have been planning this week:
We have added one more spirit night fundraiser to our schedule coming up- in addition to the Saturday, February 17th Spirit Night at Papa's Pizza in Heflin, and the Thursday, March 15th Spirit Night at McDonald's in Heflin, we are adding another Spirit Night fundraiser at Chick-Fil-A in Oxford on Tuesday, February 20th. Specific times for all of these will be announced here soon.
ALSO - Please don't forget that your third payment for the Chicago trip will be due next week on Wednesday, January 31st. The trip payment will once again be $135. Please make every effort to pay these on time! We will have another trip/bus deposit coming up soon, so we need to make sure we have collected all of the money necessary to pay these deposits. If you have any questions as to how much your student has earned through the first couple of fundraisers we have had, feel free to send me an email at jaron.smith@cleburneschools.net.
**IMPORTANT** If you still owe for your band fees from this past marching season, PLEASE make sure that you make every effort to pay these fees off, or at least send me a message as to what your situation is.
ALSO ALSO- There will be a short interest meeting for our auxiliary group for next year after school next week on Tuesday, January 30th. Ellen and I will be there to give any interested persons a run down on what to expect for try outs for next year.
ALSO ALSO ALSO- Our MPA dates have been set, and the High School Concert Band will be performing on March 1st (Thursday) and the 7th/8th Intermediate Band will be performing on March 2nd (Friday) during school. Times for those dates will be set in stone as soon as they send me the schedule. For MPA we will also be having after school rehearsals once a week up until the date of the MPA performance (this is partially due to the week we missed for weather). These rehearsals will begin immediately after school and end at 4PM Central. The High School Concert Band group will meet on Tuesdays and the Intermediate Band will meet on Thursdays. If you have any questions, please let me know!
LASTLY: Please mark your calendars for April the 26th for our Spring Concert. All of our performing groups will be playing during that evening's concert.
Thanks!
Mr Smith
