Thank you to all who took time to come out for parent-teacher conferences last week. It always means a lot to meet so many of you and find out/share vital information about your son or daughter! Please feel free to contact me any time with questions, comments, or feedback. Here are a few important things coming up in the near future:
*** Symphonic Band uniforms are being checked-out this week to be worn on Thursday. Please ensure that your son/daughter has the appropriate black pants, shoes, and socks as well as a collared white shirt to go with the jacket, cummerbund, and bow tie that are provided. Thank you!***
Thursday, November 5 - Symphonic Band will be playing at the Little Theater Dedication Ceremony.
Students need to be in the SHS band room by 5:45pm to set-up/warm-up and we will play prelude music starting at 6:10 and then the feature piece during the ceremony
After the ceremony (at 7pm) ALL BAND STUDENTS are invited to our fall social event: pizza and ice cream provided by band council will be happening in the band room.
