WIND, JAZZ ENSEMBLES AT STATE THIS MONTH 

Wind Ensemble will perform at State (in Corvallis) this Saturday, May 13th. The performance is at 11:45am in the LaSells Stewart Center at OSU.

Students will ride a district bus to and from Grant that day, loading at 8:15am and returning around 5:00pm. Students should pack a lunch, as they won't have time to go and find lunch on campus.

Read the full itinerary for times and items to bring.

Jazz Ensemble will perform at the state contest on May 20 at Mt. Hood Community College. Schedules have not been released yet but should be available soon.

FINAL BOOSTER MEETING ON MAY 16

The last band boosters meeting of the year is Tuesday, May 16 at 6:30pm in the band room. 

The Grant Band Boosters are a friendly group of parents who meet monthly, along with Mr. McFadden, to support the band program. Meetings are the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30-7:30, most often in the band room. 

At this final meeting, we will be electing board positions for next year. We still have a couple of open positions, including President-Elect and membership in our Sweet Sound of Jazz Planning Team. As President-Elect, you would attend monthly meetings and prepare to assume the duties of booster president the following year. The Sweet Sound of Jazz Team will be a group of 5-8 parents who will work together to plan this event, which typically takes place in February.

Please consider joining us on May 16 to help us wrap up a successful year and start thinking about the next one!

CODA CONCERT MAY 25 

The final concert of the year -- the Coda -- happens Thursday, May 25 at 7:00pm in the auditorium. All musicians should report at 6:00 pm.

We are looking for volunteers to bring treats for the Bake Sale in the lobby before and after the concert, or to help sell the baked goods, coffee, and water.

• Baked goods must be store-bought per PPS policy. 

• On May 25, you can send them to the band room with your student, drop them in the office, or bring them just before the concert. 

If you can help with donations or volunteering, please contact Elise Lind at elind448@gmail.com.

PEP BAND FOR "GRANT'S LAST STAND" ON JUNE 3

Message from Mr. McFadden: 

We've been asked to provide a pep band for the June 3rd "Grant's Last Stand" closing ceremony. I am still getting details from the planners but it will most likely be volunteer. 

Stay tuned for details.
