Winter Park Band Notes
April 2, 2018
BAND REGISTRATION NIGHT - MAY 1
It's difficult to believe that it is already April! Band Registration Night for the 2018/2019 school year is just a little under one month away on Tuesday, May 1 from 6 PM - 9 PM in the High School Band Room! Registration forms and information will be available on the Band website later this week.
The schedule for Band Registration night is as follows:
- Incoming Freshman, 6:00 PM - 6:45 PM
- Rising Sophomore, 6:45 PM - 7:30 PM
- Rising Junior, 7:30 PM - 8:15 PM
- Rising Senior, 8:15 PM - 9:00 PM
It is OK if you cannot make your scheduled time slot! It is set up that way to spread out the masses.
If you know of a rising band freshman who will be at Winter Park High School next year, please pass along this information to their parents!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Skilled Carpenter Needed
If you have carpentry skills and tools we need your help. We are making some modifications to our marching band trailer to accommodate the new aluminum stairs that will be delivered this spring.
Painters Needed
If you enjoy painting and the preparation for painting, we need your help. We are organizing another trailer painting session on April 27 and 28. We are continuing the painting of the interior of the trailer to get ready for next marching season. Six to eight volunteers would be helpful.
For both opportunities to serve, please contact Willson McBurney at WillsonMcBurney@gmail.com.
WIND SYMPHONY & JAZZ ENSEMBLE I AUDITION INFORMATION
The audition information for the 2018/2019 WInd Symphony and Jazz Ensemble I are now up on the Band website:
Students are encouraged to seek out help from directors and current seniors as they prepare these auditions! The sign-up for Wind Symphony auditions is now posted outside of the Band Room.
AMAZON FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY!
Even though the holiday season is past us, this is still an excellent tool to raise money for the Band every time you shop at Amazon. The Winter Park High School Alumni Band Association is a registered charity on Smile.Amazon.com, so please remember to use this unique link to shop at Amazon every time, and a small percentage of the sale (at no cost to you) will automatically be sent quarterly to the WPHSABAA account and then donated to the Winter Park Band Program. If we all use this link every time, we can raise funds on an ongoing basis to help the band! https://smile.amazon.com/ch/27-0964817
