IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM REMIND:

Changes are coming to Remind phone numbers: Over winter break, all numbers will be reassigned for users who receive Remind text notifications, which means that the phone number they receive Remind messages from will change. The purpose of this change is to comply with new requirements from mobile carriers.

For users who receive text messages from Remind, a new number will be assigned automatically to any communication they receive following the update. Teachers, students, and parents can download the mobile app or update their notification preferences in their account settings. Otherwise, our SMS users will be notified from their new number(s) the next time they receive a message.

PBIS PEP RALLY at SCES

Our friends at SCES have asked us to come and play as a part of a PBIS Pep Rally on Friday, January 7. The ENTIRE marching band is expected to participate. You will miss Periods 1, 2, and 3 (excused absence for school activity). Attire is red UA shirt (guard t-shirts for guard) and blue jeans.

LISTEN TO THIS!

"LISTEN TO THIS" is a weekly feature in our newsletter where I challenge each member of the band to listen to some great band music. This week's selection is very short! It's by Australian composer Percy Grainger, who was one of the first composers to write down folk songs for the concert band. This one is called Shepherd's Hey.
