Hello All,
Welcome back! I hope all of you enjoyed your break and are ready to get back at it! We are now in the home stretch of another school year. Can you believe it? Sit tight and fasten your seat belts. There will be A LOT going on within the band as well as around school right up to the end of the year.
Fair Shares - All fair shares must be paid before the end of the school year. Please go ahead and pay these off now. You can CLICK HERE to pay online or send in cash or check and put it in the money box.
State MPA - This Saturday is the FBA State Jazz/S&E MPA. Earlier this week I sent out the schedule for everyone. You can access that along with the itinerary for the bus transportation by CLICKING HERE.
Percussion Preview Concert - Next Tuesday the 29th, our percussion will be giving a preview concert to get ready for the big concert in April. This will be at 7:30pm in the gym. We invite you to come out and get a sneak peak at the work-in-progress.

We will watch Hobbs perform at 10am and the Blackwater Beats will perform at 10:30. This is all FREE. After we are done, those students are free to stick around or leave.
GCGPC Championships - Guard will have their final competition performance on April 2nd at Tate HS. This will be you last chance to see these amazing students in competition. Please make plans to come out. The schedule is TBD.
