September 25, 2016 Campus Messenger - Quick Band Reminders

Hello band parents and students:

Just a quick reminder that registration forms for our Spring Break 2017 trip to NYC are  due this Tuesday 9/27 .  Click here if you need to print out another copy.  Scholarship applications are due on the same day and can still be picked up tomorrow from Mr. V in the band room.

A few additional reminders for another busy week:

1.  All week - Jazz band auditions.  If you forgot to sign up for a time last week, see Mr. Brown to ask what times are available.  Remember that all students interested in jazz need to sign up for a slot, even if you are planning to play in the non-audition group.  2.  Monday/Tuesday - First flute choir and saxophone choir rehearsals of the year during study hall and ASR.  Check the schedule to see when you attend!  3. Tuesday ASR - Visit from Wisconsin Brass Quintet, and registrations due for Oct. 1 concert.  4. Wednesday - First rehearsal for Wednesday Morning Honors Band at 7:00 AM.  5. Thursday - Cheesecake order forms due with all payment  6. Friday - "Field trip" rehearsal for marching band during Block 1.  Students should plan to report early (7:00 AM) that day to make the most of our full band rehearsal.

Finally, please enjoy  this recording of last Friday's homecoming halftime performance, courtesy of Brian Essert.  Congratulations to the marching band on our cleanest show to date!

Thanks for reading, everyone!
