Well I hope e everyone has enjoyed this unexpected yet AMAZING break. I hope you were able to make memories and spend time just enjoying this historic event. Of course I'm talking about the opening of Jersey Mike's next to the Publix! :-) LOL jkjk! We can't wait to hear all of the stories and see all the pics of you in the snow! We definitely will need to add those to the end of the year videos! Now back to reality. Please see below for all events and info.
All-County - The directors will be meeting and discussing alternative dates for the All-County Band. We will communicate these dates and locations with you as soon as we narrow these down.
Calendar Fundraiser - It has been two months since we kicked off the calendar fundraiser. Students have a chance to earn $496+ dollars with this. You simply get folks to sponsor you on a certain day, and that person will pay you the amount of that day; i.e. January 23rd = $23, etc. All calendars and money is due by February 7th. CLICK HERE for a hard copy of the calendar.
Band Fees - Now that the new year and second semester is upon us, it is time to make the final payments for all band and indoor fees. All accounts have been updated with the BPA incentive volunteer discount. Payments can be made online or directly to the money box. If using checks to make separate payments to various fees, please use separate checks per fee. It is imperative that all fees are paid ASAP.
Indoor Competition - This Saturday is the first Indoor competition of the season. This will take place at South Walton High School. We will be providing buses for all groups. Students must ride the bus over, however, they may check out with the staff using the same checkout procedures as usual. Please make sure you communicate with Chandler and/or Sam with any questions. See itineraries below. Admission for all Indoor competitions is Cash $15.00, Credit Card $18.00, Age 5 & Under Free, Age 65 & Up Free. We encourage all that can to come out and support our awesome students!
FBA S&E - FBA S&E is right around the corner. Ms. Julia will be coming in at various times to practice with those students that have her as your accompanist. Please make sure that you find time to practice all Solos and Esembles. Students will need to organize practice sessions either before school, after school, or at homes. Please make sure you talk to me about any planned after school practices so I can plan as well. We should have the performance schedule soon. Students, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ORIGINALS OF ALL MUSIC. Also, make sure you turn in your piano parts to the box in front of the office.
That is all for now. I hope you have a wonderful week!
