Hope everyone had a good weekend. First of, I want to say congratulations to Andrew Luther and Ellis Thompson for their amazing concert at District II Honor Band last Saturday. In case you did not know, District Honor Band is where students audition for top spots in the district. They meet up in February and rehearse 12+ hours with a special guest conductor on music that is advanced for their age. If you want more info for next year and how to prepare, please shoot me an email.
Band Booster Meeting
TONIGHT is our monthly band booster meeting here at the RHS Band room, beginning at 5:30PM (AL Time). Please come and show your support as we make decisions that could use your input for our students and program.
MPA Practices (IMPORTANT)
Next, I wanted to let everyone know that MPA field trip permission slips are going out this week, so please be on the lookout for them. They will be due next Tuesday (2/19/19). I've had to make several phone calls due to both bands being scheduled on the same day, but we got it worked out. I also want to let middle school parents know that there will be rehearsals Monday and Tuesday on Feb. 25th and 26th due to me being enrolled in bus school. The band will require two buses next year and Mr. Ward and I decided it would be best if I went ahead and got my CDL in case we got in a pinch. Unfortunately the only time they offer the course is the week of MPA, which is why I am having after-school rehearsals with the middle school. I will be back in time for the high school band.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Please share this via Facebook, as I cannot access it at school.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
