The indoor season has kicked off with two wonderful performances by our winterguards yesterday at Jay High School. There is still much clean and many improvements to make, but they are off to a great start and I can't wait to see the progress they will make throughout the season. You can see the varsity winterguard in performance again this Saturday at Robertsdale HS at 6pm. Tickets are $10. The Black Gold Percussion Ensemble will debut their show at the Choctaw Indoor Competition.
This week we will have individual band photos taken by Kay Brown Photography. Students will need to wear uniform tops for these pictures. Guard will wear your field uniforms. We would like to have all of these pictures done on Tuesday. We will have pictures taken on Wednesday only if we have students that were absent on Tuesday. If you did not get an order form, please click HERE to download a copy.
All charms accounts should be up to date as of last week. Please look at your accounts and make sure that everything is up to date. We still have several folks that owe quite a bit of fair shares. Please start catching up on these. Like I said, we will have a few more fundraisers to help you out. This week, anyone who plays a school-owned instrument will has a $50 payment owed. This allows us to have these instruments cleaned and fixed each year.
Please mark your calendars for a very important meeting this Tuesday at 6:30 in the band room. We will discuss the upcoming mattress fundraiser as well as next year's band trip cruise in March 2018. We have to get an early start on that trip because the ship will fill up very quickly and we want to make sure we can get rooms booked.
That is all for now. I hope this week is an eventful week for everyone!
