Winter Park Band Notes
October 25, 2016 - Addendum
Home Play-Off Game - 11/11/2016
It was announced this morning that there will be a play-off game held at Showalter Field on Friday, November 11, beginning at 7:30 PM (note the time change).
Whether or not the Marching Band performs their full show that night will depend on attendance conflicts. Please contact me no later than 3 PM this Wednesday, October 26 if you have a conflict on November 11 and cannot be there. After 3 PM on Wednesday, students will be locked-in and will be expected to attend as a grade.
If Winter Park wins on November 11, they will most likely travel to Apopka High School on November 18, and we'll send a volunteer pep band. If they win at Apopka, they will be home the next two Fridays (11/25 and 12/2), as long as they continue to win, and these will be pep bands.
An itinerary for the November 11 game can be found HERE.
Trunk-R-Treat
Due to the National Honor Society meeting on Tuesday, November 1, we have moved "Trunk-R-Treat" to Wednesday, November 2, following Marching Band rehearsal at 5:00 PM. More details will be coming in next week's regular Newsletter!
New York Fundraising Possibilities
As David Bornstein explained during last Thursday's Fall Band Concert, if you know a business or philanthropic individual who might consider making a contribution to the Winter Park Bands to assist with the funding of the Wind Ensemble's performance in Carnegie Hall next June, please e-mail Mr. Blackmer. He will forward the information on to the parent fundraising committee, and they will take it from there!
Like Mr. Bornstein said, we are just looking for a "foot in the door!"
