I hope everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving Break. Only three weeks until we are off for a break again, but a very busy three weeks at that.
Practices This Week
Monday: All-State Practice - until 4PM
Tuesday: Marching Band - until 4PM
Wednesday: Jazz Band - until 3:45PM
Thursday: Marching Band - until 4PM
Christmas Parade
This Saturday is the Christmas parade. Students will need to be at the band room by 12PM to get dressed. Remember! Students will wear their uniform and a Santa hat. Auxiliaries have already been told what they will wear by their instructors. We will line up at 12:40PM and the parade will begin at 1:00PM. Once the parade is over, the band will set up at the stage area near the USPS office and play a 15-20 minute show at 2:00PM. Once their show is over, students will return to the band room and will quickly put their things up. Band, you may decorate your instruments as long as the instrument can still function.
All-State
The deadline to register for All-State is December 10th, but we need to have all students registered ASAP. Auditions for All-State will be in January 8th, 2022 in Albertville, Alabama.
Concert Reminder
Reminder that the concert is December 7th, 2021. Only select students can stay after school, pending approval of Mr. Melton. Students will not be allowed to roam the campus and they will only be able to help set up and then stay in the band room.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
