Good Evening Band Family,
I hope you are all finishing up a great weekend.
Just a few reminders for this up coming week:
1. The Band Spring Trip interest meeting will be on Tuesday, September 10th at 6:00 pm. Please plan to attend to find out information about our trip to Disney in March.
2. Our first after-school rehearsals will be in the next two weeks.
Tuesday, September 17th - Symphonic Winds 4:00 - 6:00 pm
Tuesday, September 24th - Concert Band 4:00 - 6:00 pm
Students are expected to attend all after-school rehearsals.
Please see the master calendar below for all after-school dates.
3. I am still looking for a number of students to turn in their emergency health form and permission slip for this year. Please make sure you have filled them out and return me.
4. Region Audition sign-ups will be posted within the next week. The cost to sign up for Region Auditions is $12. We have a number of students who are definitely ready for the challenge of auditioning for region band. Please encourage your child to sign up.
You can send in a check or cash for the cost of region auditions. Make the check out to JICHS Band Backers.
Have a great week, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Dr. Bowles
