THANKSGIVING
Playoffs
Once again, the marching band will not be traveling to the game.
Poinsettia Sale Begins
If you don't see an order form come home this week - contact the band office (or your child 🙂).
HS band dress shoes
Soon we will begin concert band uniform fittings. Students will need to provide their own BLACK dress shoes to go with their uniform. They will need these shoes for us to adjust their pant or skirt hem.
GUYS: plain black. We prefer ties.
GIRLS: low or no heel, no open back, no open toes, no buckles or small buckle, plain black. (A lot of girls use plain black ballet flats)
DINKLES DO NOT COUNT.
MS Christmas Concert
Patrons
While nothing is official for basketball - we expect that to be impacted as well.
Your patron donation will go a long way to help offset these losses.
Worry
There is so much to "worry" about. The problem is we can't control those things. Worrying about things which we can not control causes nothing but stress. Instead we should focus on things we CAN "control". Like what?
Like how we react to these situations. Like our attitude toward situations and people. Like our outlook on the world around us. Like finding positive energy and positive joy in the little moments around us.
We should focus on making a positive impact on the people around us. We should focus on helping those in need.
There is nothing we can do about the things that cause us the most worry - but we can decide to make the best of the situations and impact the world around us to make the world a better place.
CHRISTMAS CONCERTS... yes... plural!
We will be dividing our Christmas Concerts to allow more parents to attend.
Dec 3, 7:30pm - MS Band Christmas Concert featuring the 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Concert Bands.
Dec 7, 7:30pm - HS Band Christmas Concert featuring HS Symphony Band and Wind Ensemble
We anticipate TWO vouchers per participant for parents to attend. We expect to live-stream the event for those without a voucher.
MIDDLE SCHOOL BANDS
8th and 7th Grade bands are complete their audition and seating process. ALL the Middle School Bands are hard at work on their Christmas Music.
