As we go on Spring Break...

 Announcements for over Spring Break...

1.  As we've been advertising in the 8th grade and HS Symphonic Band Classes, the "Music for All" Summer Music Symposium at Ball State University is an absolutely life-changing experience.  We already have 4-5 of our band members registered for this June 26th.  Mr. D. and a couple of the student leaders participated last summer and are coming back for more.  Over 950 band members from 35 different states.  Easy payment plans.  Make it happen this summer.  It's only a week!  Go to Music for All Summer Music Symposium and register.  Se ya there!  Ask your child for the flyer that was distributed in the band classes!

2.  Drum line, pit percussion and color guard will begin the week we return to school.  If you are marching next season you are required to attend practices.  "IF" you don't come to practices then you'll be relieved of your position.  It's pretty simple.  It's gonna be a great season.  Get pumped!

3.  The CHS HS Jazz Festival is slated for Friday, April 14th and we need both student and parent volunteers in the kitchen and on the floor helping the bands and their directors find their way around.  Please e-mail Chuck Dettmar if you can help ( 4:00 - 8:00 PM)

4.  Memorial Day Parade (on Memorial Day) and Graduation Band are both mandatory for all band students.  Please be sure to mark your calendars.  Yes, we all want to go to picnics with boats and noodle salad, but we need to fulfill our yearly obligations as well.  I know you feel the same.
