Happy Monday! :) I hope the extra hour was as good for you as it was for me. Please remember to look at cmhsbands.weebly.com for any documents/materials/information you may have missed! We are planning on getting the uniforms washed this week so that they are ready to go when we fit them at band camp next year. Is there anyone willing to help transport them, pick them up, and organize them? Please let me know! The plan is to drive them over on Thursday after school. Few things happening this week: Monday, Nov. 7 Marchies with Munchies in the CM Commons; starts at 7pm. If you're donating items, please get them here by 6:30pm. Decorating is starting at 5:30pm. Tuesday, Nov. 8 Fine Arts Booster Meeting in the CM Commons @ 7pm (gives you time to vote!) Wednesday, Nov. 9 Tri-M Meeting @ 3:15pm Friday, Nov. 11 No school - Veteran's Day Saturday, Nov. 12 ILMEA All-District Jazz (Select Students) Looking at next week: Monday, Nov. 14 Jazz Band begins (4pm-5pm) Percussion Ensemble begins (5:30pm-6:30pm) Nashville Trip Kick-Off in CM Auditorium? @ 7pm Tuesday, Nov. 15 Show Me Dough Pick-Up - is there any parent that would be willing to help supervise this process? Please let me know! Wednesday, Nov. 16 Tri-M Meeting @ 3:15pm Looking even further ahead.. Here is the list of pep band dates. All students are required to attend pep band games - they are a 25 point grade. If for some reason your child needs to miss, please let me know. They will not have to complete a make-up assignment - they will simply be exempt (which means it doesn't hurt them, but it doesn't help them either!). However, if you do not notify me of their absence BEFORE the game begins, it will be a zero that they cannot make up. Here is a copy of the Nashville Trip Information. Please follow pg. 4 for payment dates. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please let me know ASAP. Chaperones will be chosen by myself and the administration. If you do not tell me of your interest, you will not have the chance to be chosen. Thank you for your help in this matter. I think that's it! I look forward to seeing you all tonight to celebrate our wonderful band students! Musically yours -- Michaela Davis |
