Announcements for the week:
Thanks to everyone who came out the homecoming game on Friday or traveled up the Union City Contest on Saturday! The kids had a great run in finals on Saturday night and got a lot great comments from the judges on things to work on in the coming days/weeks!
A special thanks to Wendy Tate and all those who helped her feed the kids yesterday!
Boston Butts orders + money are due TOMORROW! Students are asked to sell at least 1 butt. Orders will need to be picked up between 7-8am on the day of our contest (October 3rd).
Parent/Teacher Conference is this Thursday (3:30-6:30) and Friday (8:00-11:30)! I highly encourage each of you to make time to go and talk with your child's teachers so you can see how they are doing in their classes. Be involved in your student's education! Because of rehearsal on Thursday I will be unavailable for conference until after 5:00. I will be conducting my conference in my science room (221) if you need to come speak with me but for the most part I see most of you at games and competitions so if I had a problem with your child you would have had a conversation with me by now but you are still more than welcome to stop by and see me if you wish.
This Friday there is NO SCHOOL! because of parent/teacher conference.
Friday night we have a FB game vs. Oakhaven @ 7:30! This our 8th grade night when all of the 8th graders join in with the high school band to play the national anthem and pep band tunes in the stands during the first half. This is a great recruiting tool for the high school band. I hope many of you (parents) will make yourself available to those 8th grade parents that you know to make them feel comfortable and involved as their student starts thinking about high school and high school band. High school band students must be dressed in full uniform and in their seats at 5:30 for rehearsal with the 8th graders. If an 8th grader is also in the high school band then their primary responsibility on this night is with their middle school band program until half time.
This Saturday there is no contest! Enjoy your Saturday off!
Our contest at Gibson County is less than two weeks away! We are still in need of a lot of help. If you have not already volunteered and would like to help in any capacity at the competition please contact Kim Todd and she will get you plugged in.
Remember the two 12 pack of drinks that each student was asked to bring for the competition are due NEXT MONDAY (28th). Be sure their names are on the drinks and they are placed under the table in the band room. Thanks to all those who have already brought in your drinks!
Our competition is our largest fundraiser of the year. Students will be asked to be at the high school between 7 and 7:30 the day of the competition. They will not be released to leave until 11 or 12 that night. Students will be dressed during the day in their black polos, khaki shorts or pants, and tennis shoes. They will need everything to perform at the end of the preliminary competition in full uniform. The boosters will feed them pizza after prelims. It's a full day and it takes EVERYONE to pull it off! I have attached a copy of the schedule for the day so you what's going on if you're with a band helping out.
ATTN SENIORS AND SENIOR PARENTS: The deadline for senior state scholarships is OCTOBER 1ST! They must be postmarked by this day! There is a lot of FREE money to be had here so I highly encourage each senior to advantage of this great opportunity!
