Hi, hey, hello!
Congratulations to our percussion section for performing at the SIUE Percussion Festival this past weekend! They performed in front of family and friends, as well as judges. Immediately following their performance, they were given a clinic by the judges. This instant feedback from a performance was so beneficial for our percussionists and I cannot wait to see how they start incorporating what they learned not only from the comments received but from watching other groups perform. A video of the performance can be found HERE. Thank you to all parent volunteers that helped pull the trailer, load and unload equipment, move equipment from point A to point B, etc. We could not attend these performances without your help! If you are looking to volunteer to help our band at any point in time, please see Jen Gross' emails. If you aren't receiving these and would like to, please let me know or email her directly at [email protected] Bobby's Apple Fundraiser For students attending the Florida trip, we have started the Bobby's Caramel Apple Fundraiser this past week. Apples are sold individually along with a turtle sundae coupon. They are $10 and students receive $4 to go toward the trip. Order forms can be picked up in the auditorium. Forms and payment are due Sept. 10 and delivery is Sept. 23. If you are not attending the Florida trip, but would still like to fundraise, all monies will go into the band activity account to pay for various items that we need to purchase throughout the school year. Tri-M Tri-M is our school's music honors society. For those interested, meetings start this Wednesday at 2:20pm in the auditorium. Meetings are typically a half-hour long.
