Hi, hey, hello!
Congratulations to our 2021 senior class! It was so nice to be able to celebrate you all on Friday night. For the band, great job Friday night! We brought some school spirit to our second home football game - the first one we were able to attend! We do have a home game this upcoming Friday, April 16. The setup for this game will be the same as this past Friday, but call time will be moved to 5:30pm since we have a better grasp on how we are setting up. Please remember that we may also have a home game on Friday, April 23. We won't know until the 16th if this is home or not. We are taking water donations if anyone would like to donate a pack of water bottles to hydrate our students during the game! Simply send them with your student or drop them off at any time in the auditorium labeled with your student's name and with CMHS BAND written on the pack. A note on absences: please check the email for a picture of the band handbook, as it relates to absences. I would like to draw your attention to the first sentence. Communication is a must! This is a life skill! Please read the update carefully - there's some new information included in this one! Florida Trip Kick-Off Meeting We will be having a Florida trip kick-off meeting on Tuesday, April 20 at 6:30pm. This meeting will explain how to sign up for the trip, information on how to start paying, and will include the first fundraiser for students: Joe's Pizza and Pasta! We will be having this meeting hybrid. Some may attend in-person while others will be invited to listen to all information virtually. If you are planning on attending this meeting, either in-person or virtually, please fill out THIS FORM. We will have a random drawing as to who can attend in person since we are limited to 100 people. If your name is drawn, I will contact you. If you are attending virtually, you will receive a Zoom link from me on the day of the meeting. Spring Concert Our Spring Concert is on Tuesday, May 4 starting at 7pm. This will be a live performance held at CMHS. It will be a "lawn performance" which means we will be performing outside the back of CMHS. The band will be set up on the concrete pad facing the stadium, while families and friends are invited to bring lawn chairs and set them up in the teacher parking lot. Seniors are invited to decorate a parking space with chalk prior to the concert. Call time for this evening will be 6:30pm. Dress will be concert black. I suggest wearing a short-sleeve polo or blouse this evening, but we will be wearing concert black. Consider wearing layers - keep in mind the weather! Student Leader Meeting We will have a student leader meeting on Thursday, April 15 from 12:30pm-1:30pm for the 2021 student leader team. Please let me know if you CANNOT make it. CM Band and Choir Banquet We have been approved to have an in-person band and choir banquet on Friday, May 21st starting at 6:30pm. This banquet will be hybrid and will offer desserts and drinks. Seniors will be invited first with the option to bring up to three (3) family members. The RSVP for seniors will be due by Friday, April 30th. After that, juniors will be invited to attend the banquet in person, but no family members will be allowed to attend with them. All other students will be invited to attend remotely via Zoom. After the banquet concludes, students and families can drive by CM to pick up their student's awards. ALL students receive something at this banquet to thank them for their dedication to the band and choir programs at CMHS. The Senior RSVP can be found HERE. To donate desserts/drinks/volunteer to help decorate, please CLICK HERE. Graduation Mr. Juergemeier, the choir director, and I are meeting with Mr. Newell this Friday to discuss music for graduation. Graduation is scheduled for Saturday, May 22 in the evening. Please request off work and keep this date in your calendars until more specific information can be provided. Memorial Day Parade The band typically participates in the yearly Memorial Day Parade which is held on Memorial Day. I have not been given any information for this parade at this time. I will let you know as soon as I do, but I have a feeling this parade will NOT be happening. --- April and May Calendar April Monday, April 12 - Jazz Band (1pm-2pm) Tuesday, April 13 - Juniors SAT - Freshmen, Sophomores, Seniors - Remote Day Thursday, April 15 - Student Leader Meeting (12:30-1:30) - 2021 Battery Rehearsal (4pm-5:30pm) - 2021 Front Ensemble Rehearsal (5:30pm-7pm) Friday, April 16 - Home Football Game (6:30pm call - marching shoes, TALL black socks, black pants, polo) Monday, April 19 - Tri-M Board Meeting (12:30pm) - Jazz Band (1pm-2pm) Tuesday, April 20 - Treble Choir Auditions - No one may be in the auditorium (1pm-3pm) - Florida Trip Kick Off Meeting (6:30pm) Wednesday, April 21 - Tri-M Meeting (12:30pm) Thursday, April 22 - Treble Choir Auditions - No one may be in the auditorium (1pm-3pm) - 2021 Battery Rehearsal (4pm-5:30pm) - 2021 Front Ensemble Rehearsal (5:30pm-7pm) Friday, April 23 - Possible Home Football Game Monday, April 26 - Jazz Band (1pm-2pm) Thursday, April 29 - 2021 Battery Rehearsal (4pm-5:30pm) - 2021 Front Ensemble Rehearsal (5:30pm-7pm) May Monday, May 3 - Tri-M Board Meeting (12:30pm) - Jazz Band (1pm-2pm) - Choir Spring Concert Tuesday, May 4 - CM Band Spring Concert (7pm) Wednesday, May 5 - Tri-M Meeting (12:30pm) Thursday, May 6 - Trimpe Band Spring Concert (7pm) Tuesday, May 11 - Fine Arts Booster Meeting (CMHS - 6pm) Thursday, May 13 - 2021 Battery Rehearsal (4pm-5:30pm) - 2021 Front Ensemble Rehearsal (5:30pm-7pm) Thursday, May 20 - 2021 Battery Rehearsal (4pm-5:30pm) - 2021 Front Ensemble Rehearsal (5:30pm-7pm) Friday, May 21 - CM Band and Choir Banquet (6:30pm) Saturday, May 22 - CM Class of 2021 Graduation Sunday, May 23 - CM Class of 2021 Graduation Reschedule if needed Thursday, May 27 - 2021 Battery Rehearsal (4pm-5:30pm) - 2021 Front Ensemble Rehearsal (5:30pm-7pm) --- Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
