Thank you to all the students and parents who helped out at Spirit Night last week. It was a great success and we are very pleased. Please do read the information below as it includes some important points.
Middle School Trumpet Sectional
The Intermediate Band trumpet section is having a sectional this week on Wednesday until 4PM. Students, please arrive as soon as the bell rings so we can get started right away. We may have other sections have independent rehearsals depending on their needs.
Private Lessons
This week, due to Jazz Band, Dance Line tryouts and the trumpet sectional, there will be no private lessons this week. These will resume the week we return from break. Please note communication is key with these. If a student doesn't come when the bell rings, I assume they forgot or went home.
Candy Fundraiser
All money for the candy fundraiser is due Thursday, March 28th. Please make sure your envelope with money in it has a name on it. I currently have a few that have no name!
Jazz Band
Jazz band begins tomorrow after school until 4PM. This is mainly a introductory and sight read day for us, as we may have some new faces joining us. Jazz band is currently set to meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4PM. Keep in mind this may change due to auditions coming up and other band-related events.
Band Banquet and Concert:
Our Spring Concert will take place on May the 2nd at 6:00PM in the RES gymnasium. Students should arrive by 5:30PM. The band banquet will take place on May the 9th, beginning at 6PM as well. This will take place at Freedom Baptist Church. More details to follow.
Band Fees
Another reminder that band fees are way past due. We have just a few who have outstanding fees and the next step is going to be taken. Please make sure these are taken care of, ESPECIALLY auxiliary members as you cannot tryout if you have outstanding fees.
Spring Break
Students! This one is for you. Please have fun over the break and BE SAFE. Please make an effort to practice your music some over the break so we do not have to start "two squares back" when you come back on the 8th. Trust me, Mr. Melton is taking some time to relax too!
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
