Hello, hello, hello!
I forget how short of a month February really is... The final fundraiser of the year is... CHEESECAKES. I will be handing out the order forms on Tuesday. Order forms with money (checks made out to CMHS Bands) will be due Friday, March 10th. Delivery will be March 20th. The February Nashville payment is due February 24th. The final Nashville payment will be due on March 14th. Chaperones - I would like to have a meeting in the upcoming week or so - you'll be getting another e-mail from me soon! :) IHSA Solo and Ensemble is coming up on Saturday, March 4. This is required for all band students - all students are in an ensemble of some sort with their instrument group. Students will take a bus to Alton High School that morning, perform in front of a judge (usually in a classroom) and we will drive back. Pretty fun morning! I haven't been given times as to when each group performs, but once I do, I will send that information out! The Fine Arts Boosters Dinner Auction is Saturday, March 11th. We will need volunteers for that event! More information to go out soon, but the theme is Cinderella! Set-up will be Friday, March 10th (we will also need volunteers!) The jazz band is playing that night and I also think a few of our cast members are singing. The CM band and choir are putting together a board game basket to be auctioned off the night of the event - if you have anything you'd like to donate for that basket, please have your child bring it to me by Monday, March 6. Civic Memorial High School presents Cinderella Friday, Saturday, and Sunday March 17th, 18th, and 19th. Mrs. Woelfel has more information about tickets and pricing, and please see her to buy tickets. I've observed some rehearsals and I think it's going to be an absolutely fantastic performance! Saturday, March 25th is our Sweets 'N' Swing jazz concert! Admission is free, but we will be selling desserts the night of - please let me know if you'd like to volunteer to help run the dessert table. At this point in time, I have one parent volunteer! :( Both our jazz band and Second Generation Swing, a phenomenal, non-profit jazz ensemble, will be performing the night of the event. We will also be having a dance floor! It'll be a wonderful evening. We will have some ensemble rehearsals happening outside of class time the next two weeks in preparation for Solo and Ensemble. Those rehearsals will be 25 points each - if you cannot make it to them, it is your responsibility to LET ME KNOW. We have been invited to perform at the Silver Medallion Ceremony in April held at Lewis and Clark Community College. I'll be taking select students to this ceremony - they have already been informed.
