END OF OCTOBER ISSUE
October 2019 Issue 2
From the podium........
We hope Fall Break was a relaxing time for everyone! In this issue you will find information regarding Band Picture Day and an opportunity from Paige's Music regarding step up instruments. All of the bands are working hard as we get closer to our first concert on Monday 12/9/19. We have been extremely pleased with the sounds coming from the band room! This is shaping up to be a great evening of music!
Please enjoy and do not hesitate in contacting us if you have any questions.
JUNIOR HIGH BAND PICTURES
Please see below for our Concert Attire:
When giving a performance, we are striving to look and sound polished and professional. In order to make the best impression on our audiences and judges it is important that we look as good as we sound. It is expected that students will dress in a professional manner for all concerts. Unless instructed otherwise, students are expected to adhere to the following concert dress code.
Students are expected to wear black dress pants (no jeans or yoga pants), a white button-down collar shirt with a black tie or a white dress shirt, and black dress shoes with a black sole (no tennis shoes) and black socks (if applicable to the type of shoe).
Students not conforming to the dress policy may be asked to sit out of the performance. If you have trouble obtaining an appropriate outfit for your child, please let a director know well in advance of the performance. Help is available.
A picture order form is below. You can either order online, or bring in the actual order form with payment the day of pictures. Although the brochure shows athletic images, they just give you an idea of the layout of the different products. Hard copies of the order form will be passed out to students this week.
Step Up Instruments
Paige’s Music is currently making an offer by which you can get a recommended advanced level instrument on easy terms and, if you like, trade the instrument you have now toward the recommended instrument. You may choose to trade-in your present instrument, and payments can be arranged.
We will have step up instruments at school that students can play during band class through the month of November. Not all instruments offer step up, which include tuba and bassoon.
A representative of Paige's Music will be at the Fall Creek JH school band room on Wednesday, 11/20/19, from 3:15 pm until 5:00 PM (15 minute appointments) to assist students and parents who are interested in this program. If you would like to hear more about this program, we hope you will be able to come that evening.
If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity with Paige’s Music, please let us know by returning the document below OR you may schedule your 15 minute appointment with Paige’s Music online at: www.paigesmusic.com/schedule. Of course, if the time or situation is not appropriate for you to change instruments now, we understand. If you have any questions or would like to talk to us, please do not hesitate in contacting us. Please note that the school has no financial interest in any transaction you make with Paige’s. They have been asked to come to the school as a matter of convenience for you.
