Busy Week Ahead!
Monday (Today): HS Marching Band Rehearsal @ HS Band Room 6:30-8:30pm. This is a required rehearsal. All students must be in attendance unless they are participating in a varsity game. We only meet as a full marching band once during the week for 2 hours. We must have everyone in attendance. Thank you for your understanding.
Tuesday: Band Booster Meeting @ HS Band Room 7:00pm. All band parents (middle and high) are welcome to come to this meeting. It is best to enter through door A12 off the alley behind the high school.
Wednesday: Beginning Band Meeting @ MS Cafeteria 6:30pm. All beginning band parents are encouraged to attend so they can meet the band directors and get information pertinent to the class. Also, there will be representatives from Meyer Music available to rent, sell, and repair instruments. If your student needs an instrument, please plan to attend this meeting. You can enter through the doors by the gymnasium.
Thursday: No band events

** If your student needs to be home in time for religious services Friday night, please have them talk to Mrs. Rosselit on Monday. We are working to provide transportation back to Berrien Springs immediately following the performance for those students who require it.
All Beginning Band students need to have instruments in hand or proof of purchase by Monday, September 16th. If your student needs help getting an instrument, please have them see Mr. Emeigh or Mrs. Rosselit during class.
Calendar Errors
Monday, Nov 4th is Band-O-Rama. Not November 30th.
Wednesday, May 13th is the Spring Concert, Not December 9th.
Also, right now we have the pre-festival concert scheduled for February 17th, a no school day for students. February is a busy month for the gymnasium due to basketball. We were limited on the dates available. We understand the unusual aspect of it and we ask for your understanding and flexibility.
