Bandroom Update
April Edition
WHIRLWIND 3 MONTHS!
Just to refresh your memory, we worked on Solos/Ensembles in January. 8AA Solo/Ensemble Contest was February 4. We hosted Concordia College on January 6 and performed with them that evening. Our combined band/choir students performed for the Music Educators Convention in Minneapolis on February 11, so many of them were involved in multiple performances that included both Band/Choir! Our normal pep band schedule was extended with a couple extra playoff games in February! We hosted the SCSU Campus Band at our February 29 Trimester 2 band concert! The Bemidji State University Jazz Band stopped by the SRRHS band room for a cooperative performance in early March. We hosted the annual Jazz Extravaganza on March 3 at the middle school. Our 6-12 band program performed at our District Band Concert on March 10. We hosted the 3rd annual Stars of the Storm Talent Show on March 18 and the Central Lakes Conference Music Festival on Friday, April 1!
Kudos to our students for working together to make this schedule of events not only happen, but happen with quality and excellence!
Mattress Fundraiser
There are three main ways you can assist! 1. Work the event. Our lead parent team has put together a simple schedule that can fit into almost anyone's schedule of availability. The link below this paragraph allows you to look at where we have needs and sign up to help. 2. Share flyers with family and friends. Networking is the single most important way to support this event. Getting the word out allows others to decide if they can support us. If they never get the information, they won't have the opportunity to decide for themselves. 3. Purchase a mattress! Many of us have old mattresses in our homes. Taking time to come look at these high quality mattresses might just offer you an option to save money and support the music department!
Saturday, April 9 is our day to support music at SRRHS! Please do your part to join us in supporting the event by working a shift, sharing information with others and/or shop the mattresses for yourself!

Marching Storm Interest Meeting
The meeting will be on April 12 at the middle school in the band room. We will begin at 7:00 with a presentation informing students and parents about our season. We will also make an important announcement about our summer mystery tour. We are choosing to reveal the destination and want all students and parents to be comfortable with both our destination and our itinerary.
The meeting should last about one hour. There will be an opportunity for questions following the presentation.
