Hello, band families! Thank you to everyone who put their Bulldog spirit into cheering and performing at Friday night's game. If you've been away and not checking local football news, it was tied, 21-21, right up until literally the last second of the fourth quarter, when Point Boro scored a field goal and won, 24-21.
Free photos from States: Check out the group photos from State Championships! They have watermarks on them when you view them online, but if you download them the watermark does not appear. There are pics of the entire group as well as each section.
Costume and uniform cleaning: Please take your costume or uniform home to clean it! Either store your cleaned costume/uniform at home until Music In the Parks in May OR return it to the rack at school any time.
If you went home with a wet uniform on Friday night, I hope that you left it outside of the garment bag to dry!
Color guard costumes and band pants are machine washable
Band jackets MUST be dry-cleaned (they have parts that will shrink, melt, or fall off in a regular washing machine or dryer)
Once cleaned, items should be put back on your good hanger inside of your garment bag. Please leave the dry cleaning plastic bag on the jacket to indicate that it has been cleaned.
Now that playoff football has ended, we are transitioning into post-season activities and events, as well as our spring endeavors.
1. CLOSET CLEAN OUT (optional): Wednesday, Dec. 2, 3:30-5:30pm
This annual event is for cleaning, but it's also for fun! Let's listen to some tunes, eat some snacks, and get the closets looking their very best. I will bring trash bags and cleaning supplies.
2. WINTER CONCERT: Practice Tues., Dec. 8 & Performance Wed., Dec. 9
Please confirm your attendance for the Winter Concert practice and performance! We will perform Icarus onstage, including musicians and color guard.
3. END OF SEASON DINNER CELEBRATION: January 25 or 27, 6:30-9pm
All performers and families are invited! The event includes a meal, awards for every member, speeches, senior gifts, and a movie/slideshow of photos and videos from the season. We will reach out again soon with the confirmed date (just waiting to see when the cafeteria is open). We'll also form a dinner committee.
4. MUSIC IN THE PARKS: Sat., May 1, 2027, 9am-9pm
We will reach out again soon to get rehearsal and performance commitments for Music In the Parks. We will rehearse for ten Wednesdays, 4:15-6:00pm in the Knollwood band room and gym, starting February 17. The day of the trip we will perform an adjudicated parade in the morning, watch other performing groups, then spend the afternoon/evening at Six Flags Great Adventure (rides, food, awards). Last year the trip cost $60, and I anticipate it being similar this year.
Thank you!
GO DAWGS!
