Tailgate Picnic this FRIDAY!
The annual band tailgate picnic prior to the Homecoming Football game will take place this Friday, October 18th starting at 4:30pm on the front lawn of the high school. Meal will include pizza, salad, chips, drinks, and cupcakes. Reservations for this should have been submitted this past Friday.
NEW YORK CITY TRIP
On Friday, May 22, 2020, Mrs. Fair and I are planning on taking students in band and chorus on a day trip to New York City for sight-seeing as well as see a Broadway Show. We would depart ELCO around 6am, arrive in New York City around 9am, spend the day sight-seeing, then meet up at the Gershwin Theater around 7:15pm to see Wicked. Cost for the trip is $140.00. This includes the cost of the buses and show ticket. Meals during the day are on your own, so students will need to take some cash with them for food and souvenirs. A commitment form will be distributed next week after the trip is officially approved by the school board at its monthly meeting. A signed commitment form and a deposit of $20 will be due by next Friday, October 25th.
We will need adult chaperones. These will be taken on a first come, first served basis. Adults wishing to serve as chaperones must have their clearances on file with the school BEFORE submitting a commitment form and deposit. Band students may utilize their trip accounts with the booster organization for this trip. If you have any additional questions, please let Mr. or Mrs. Fair know.
Hershey Bears Game
On Saturday, December 7, 2019, the chorus will be performing the National Anthem at the Hershey Bears game that evening. Mrs. Fair is opening up the invitation to ALL band students and their families to attend the game. Cost is $22 per person for 100 level seating. Deadline for submitting money and forms to Mrs. Fair is next Friday, October 25th. Students may ride the school bus from ELCO to the Giant Center and back again. If you will be attending the game, you may take your student home with you, but you MUST sign them out with Mrs. Fair before leaving the complex. If any of the band students wish to sing the national anthem with the rest of the chorus folks, they MUST ride the bus to the Giant Center since we must all enter at the same time and proceed to the lower level as a group. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Fair mfair@elcosd.org
