Weekly Update 3/27 - 3/21

Attention parents of 7th and 8th grade band and choir students:  Change of concert date!!!

Because the 8th grade Gettysburg trip was scheduled for the same time as the 7th and 8th Grade Concert the date needed to be changed.  The new date is Thursday, May 11th! This is the same evening as the elementary 4th/5th and 6th grade concert.  There "will" be a bake sale in between the two concerts, so please help out the music boosters by dropping-off a "goodie" to be sold that night.  The schedule is below.  Thank you!

Thursday, May 11th:

6:15 PM:     4th, 5th and 6th grade report time.
6:30 PM:     Elementary (4th and 5th) and 6th Grade Concert begins

7:45 PM:     7th and 8th grade band and choir report time.
8:00 PM:     7th and 8th grade band, choir and jazz band concert.
                    (If your child is a 6th grader who participates in jazz band they will need to remain after their portion of the concert as the jazz band performs last)

High School Spring Concert and Awards Presentation:   Is slated for Monday, May 8th at 7:00 PM.  HS Band, Choir and Jazz Band will be performing with awards being presented throughout the concert.  Everyone is encouraged to bring a dessert to be shared at the "after concert" reception in the cafeteria. 

Disney Update:  Hey Gang.  The time has come!  FOOD MONEY $! - You will need to purchase a total of (7) lunches or dinners on the way down, while in Disney and/or on the way home.  We (the music faculty) are "suggesting" to bring between $10 and $15 per meal.  That does not count money for souvenirs or extras.  That is a minimum of approximately $75 and a maximum of approximately $110.  Again, this dollar amount does not include any funds for souvenirs or extras!

Suggestion:  Bring along a pre-paid debit card or gift card, along with a smaller amount of cash!

Annual Marching Band Organization Meeting:  This year's meeting will be held in the CHS Auditorium on Thursday, May 18th at 7:00 PM.  This date was painstakingly chosen to avoid any conflicts with other school-related activities and events.  All participating band members must attend as well as one (1) of their parents or guardians.  Parents of "new members" should be prepared to leave a payment ($25 - check or money order only - made out to Centerburg HS) for their child's music polo shirt.  THEY WILL NEED THE SHIRT FOR THE UPCOMING JUNE 24TH PARADE.  Following the "brief" meeting, students and their parents will be asked to meet in the cafeteria to sit with either a director of music booster officer to enter each and every band member's name and information into our data base!  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE GET EVERYONE'S INFORMATION BEFORE LEAVING THE MEETING.  Thank you.  We look forward to seeing you there! 

6th Grade Band:  Should check the Google Classroom every week to record and send their assignment.  At this point, the method book is on hold, and assignments deal with excerpts from their band selections.
