Music Announcements this week: Oct. 7th - 11th

 Congratulations once again... to the marching band for a super performance at this past Saturday's New Albany Marching Band Festival!  That was the last band festival of the season, and you ended on a high note!

Marching Band Schedule, and future performances and obligations:

* As we look at our football team's record thus far, it is obvious to us that we may very well be going into November...and then some...possibly.  Please remember that if you are a member of the football team, cheerleaders or band that it is your obligation to attend all performances.  Just a heads-up.

*  High School Jazz Band will begin this coming Monday, Oct. 7th from 7:00 - 8:30 PM.  Jazz Band is an elective class that receives both graduation credits and grades, and attendance is obviously mandatory...even though it meets outside of the school day.

* MVNU Jazz Ensemble in Concert (FREE)...along with the flute choir and symphonic winds...this coming Saturday, Oct. 12th at 1:00 PM in the MVNU Chapel.  Our own band members Andy Cornejo, Michael Wallace and Dylan Meier play with the group...and Mr. D. is the director - so come on out and cheer us on!!

* Marching Band will meet this Tuesday evening (senior Show preparations) from 6-8 PM.  Please try to memorize your senior Show music.

* WGI Indoor Winds:  We have had 22 students show interest in becoming part of the group, and will need to complete a form this week that lets us know when they will be available to practice once a week for 2 hours.  Please return the forms to Mr. D. by Friday, 10/11.

* OMEA District X Honor Band HS Audition Recordings are due to Mr. D. by this Friday at 3 PM.  Please be sure to include both excerpts, 2 major scales (Clarinets 2 octaves...everybody else only 1) and "a" chromatic scale.  This should be saved to your Google Docs and sent or shared with Mr. D.  Good luck!
