Although it's the last week of school, the band still has a couple of obligations, the first of which is the Memorial Day Parade on Monday morning the 25th.   All band members (seniors too!) are required to participate as it is still a band activity of the 2014-15 school year.  The second obligation is the graduation ceremony next Saturday, May 30th.  All Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior  band members are also required to play at graduation.   Attendance is taken at both these events and, like concerts, a performance grade is given.  Below please find the schedule from today to next Thursday.  Thank you all for anticipated cooperation! Thursday, May 21st:           Show music (JCSS) Friday, May 22nd:               Parade Practice (Grand Ol' Flag and the Fight Song)   Monday, May 25th:             Centerburg Memorial Day Parade  (AM) Tuesday, May 26th:            Graduation Music Wednesday, May 27th:       Graduation (including senior selection) - Seniors MUST          

Don't forget that we have concerts this week. Tonight is the 7/8 and High School Band and Choir concert. Tomorrow night we have the Elementary and 6th Grade Choirs and Bands. All concerts start at 7pm and we'd love to see you there!

All High School Band & Choir students and their families are invited to the annual end of the year music awards.  The event will take place in the cafeteria at 6:30 PM on Tuesday evening, May 19th, 2015.   All we ask is that every family bring a pot-luck desert to share.  In addition to students receiving awards, the marching band field commanders and section leaders will be announced!  Hope to see you there!

The Drum line meeting this coming Friday, May 15th has been moved from 4:30 PM to 4:00 PM and will last until about 5:45 PM .  Drum line members will meet Mr. Carlton, have a short meeting and then be "fitted" for the drum on which they would perform best.   DO NOT miss this meeting if you plan on marching next season!!!

Attention all new marching band members... Below is the link to the New Marching Band Member Orientation slide show.  Please view the presentation and refer to it whenever you need to.   New Member Presentation

High School Students and Families Because of a scheduling conflict with the High School Mid Ohio Athletic Conference track preliminaries we need to make a switch in concert dates. There are many high school students involved in both music and track and we would like for them to be involved in both events that week. This means that the: High School Band/Choir Concert will now be MAY 13 @ 7:00 pm in conjunction with the 7th & 8th Grade Concert We are sorry if this causes confusion, and understand that this may, in turn, cause some other conflicts. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Dettmar or Mrs. Culbertson. Thanks for all that you do to support our program and we look forward to seeing you there!
