Centerburg Music Department

  Attention All Band Students: Individual student-assigned band room lockers should have been completely cleaned-out before the end of school.  If you did yours we thank you very much!!  All personal instruments and personal belongings should have gone home! There are still quite a few lockers that are full of student's instruments and personal belongings , and the maintenance people need these items taken home... NOW!   Mr. D. will be in the band room today (Wednesday) and tomorrow (Thursday) from 8 AM until 1PM .  IF you decide not to attend to your belongs then unfortunately they will be placed in either lost and found, in the main office (maybe) or thrown out.   NOTE:  All marching band shoes should have gone home back in October.  If we find any around we're simply going to toss them in the used shoe bin in the uniform storage area. This is just a heads-up for anyone who may still need to claim their stuff! 😀

  Week of May 27th - 31st Announcements: 1.  ALL School-Owned mellophones and baritones must be turned in to the band room immediately following the Memorial Day Parade.  They will ALL be sent out for chemical cleaning, greasing, oiling and adjustment.  They will be back by the July 22nd band camp ! 2.  Fall Saturday Night Band Festivals and or competitions will be decided-on and placed on the fall calendar over the summer.  "IF" you are a marching band member please be wary about making weekend family plans during the fall, especially from mid September to the 2nd week of November.   We may or may not be finished with marching band as of the last football game.  We will post everyhting as soon as possible. 3.  "NEW" Marching band members have all summer to review the online Marching Band Handbook and New Member Presentation .  New members should arrive for new member orientation on July 22nd having a good understanding of those 2 things! 4. Physical conditioning

 Attention all " 2024-25 " Marching Band Brass and Woodwinds...! PLEASE REMEMBER... This is just a reminder that the last Marching Band Brass and Woodwind Practice is tomorrow (Tuesday) from 6:30 till 8:15 PM .  This paractice is " absolutely mandatory " as we will be learning new marching techniques and going over a lot of information and instructions you'll need for the summer.  Attendance will be taken !  See you then. 😀
