CRUISE PAPERWORK
Please be sure that every student going on the Band Cruise has turned in the Norwegian Cruise Permission Form, along with a copy of both parent's drivers licenses. Once each of the four students in a particular room have turned in this information, an email will be sent stating that you can now register online at Norwegian Cruise Line's website.
UIL Solo & Ensemble Fees
Many of our LEHS Band students (over 90 students) have signed up to participate in the UIL Region 24 Solo & Ensemble Contest. This year's contest will take place on Saturday, February 18th at Plano Senior High School. Each student is responsible for their portion of the entry fee. For small ensembles, each member of the ensemble will pay $10. For solos, each student will pay $30. Please understand that the cost per solo is actually $62.50, including $12.50 for the entry and $50 for the piano accompanist. The accompanist is required and provided through the band department. Knowing that $62.50 can be a large fee, the band department is covering $32.50 per student, using LEISD appropriated funds from the Band Budget. If the student is playing a solo that does not require and accompanist (most percussion solos) or the student chooses to provide their own piano accompanist, the fee is $10 per solo. These fees are due by Friday, February 3rd.
SNAP Fundraiser for LEHS Band
The LEHS Band is having a Spring semester fundraiser for 2017. The Band will begin an online donation (SNAP) fundraiser on January 26th. All email forms are due on Wednesday, January 25th. Please strive to provide 20 emails per person, since the success of our fundraiser will depend upon it. All profits will be spent on costs associated with preparations for the 2017 Lobo Marching Band contest show (UIL State Year), as well as assisting the Winter Guard attend the WGI World Championships in Dayton, Ohio.
Charms Recordings - Summative Grades
All band members have another recording due this week. Please be sure all recordings are submitted through CHARMS by Sunday, January 29th! Remember this is a SUMMATIVE grade!
