Announcements:

  • Happy Mother's Day to all of our great band moms out there! You guys are doing a terrific job raising some fine young men and woman! Enjoy your day!

  • CONGRATULATIONS to the class of 2017! We are proud of you and wish you nothing but success in the future!

  • Thanks to everyone who helped cheer on the band Friday at the Strawberry Festival in Humboldt! It was great to have so many supporters lining the streets of Humboldt for our performance.

  • Thanks to everyone who had any part in making the St. Louis Trip a reality for these kids! What an experience! I hope each of them enjoyed it and it will be something that they will cherish for a lifetime!

  • Any graduating seniors/parents or students not participating in the Fall 2017 band/parents will be removed from the email list at some point this week unless you email Ms. Sharon and specifically ask to remain on the list. If you want to leave the "Remind" group you can do so by following the instructions found here: https://help.remind.com/hc/en-us/articles/202540968-How-do-I-opt-out-of-receiving-messages-

  • All debts MUST be paid this week before any students will be allowed to graduate or attend the first June rehearsal!

  • We will start playing through the show music this week and working on graduation music. Students will need both concert and marching instruments at school this week.

  • We will unload the truck TOMORROW! Seniors need to be sure that anything they want to keep MUST come out of their uniform bag/instrument case and everything that belongs to the school MUST be back in its place. They can take care of this at graduation practice this week. We will take inventory tomorrow. Any equipment not returned will be added to the school's debt list.

  • TOMORROW NIGHT will be the band's freshmen orientation @ 6:30 in the band room! All student leaders who were announced for the fall are REQUIRED to attend! They need to be there at 6 to help welcome the incoming freshmen and their families to Gibson County HS. We will need some parents to help preparing/serving the food and also parents available to answer questions and make them feel welcome as well. Please contact Kim Todd if you are willing to help.

  • THE NEW YORK TRIP KICK-OFF MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE THIS THURSDAY NIGHT @ 6:00 in the library! If you, your student, or anyone you know is even thinking about going on this trip then you DO NOT want to miss this important meeting!

  • Graduation is THIS FRIDAY NIGHT @ 6:00 pm in the main gym! All non-graduating concert band members are REQUIRED to play for graduation. All students need to be in their seats on the gym floor at 5:15 dressed in concert attire! All equipment will have to be moved back to the band room before students will be dismissed to leave.
