Hello, hello, hello!
February has arrived! For those that participated in the Tom Evans fundraiser, our order is ready for pick-up earlier than they had anticipated. They will be delivering our order at 2:15pm this Tuesday, Feb. 7. Your child will be able to take their order home right after school on Tuesday. If you would like to come pick up the order, you may enter Civic Memorial after 3pm. We will be kicking off our final fundraiser of the year with cheesecakes. That fundraiser will begin February 22nd and going through March 8th with delivery being on March 20th. This will be for individual accounts for future trips. I mentioned them in the last update, but just to keep you aware, there are a few big dates in March to keep in mind: Saturday, March 4 IHSA Solo and Ensemble, Alton High School, Alton, IL - This is a required date for everyone in our band. Everyone has been assigned to an instrument choir (flute, clarinet, saxophone, brass, or percussion). We will take a bus to Alton High School and they will perform (you may come and watch them perform if you'd like - they are performing in a classroom in front of a judge and parents/friends are more then welcome!) If you'd like to take your child home after their performance, you may (I just need to see you with your child before leaving the school - and students may NOT go home with anyone other than their parent/guardian - don't even ask!) or we will take the bus back to Civic Memorial once everyone has completed their performances. Some students decided to perform a solo or smaller ensemble (duet, trio, etc.), as well! Saturday, March 11 Fine Arts Booster Dinner Auction, Civic Memorial High School Commons - The Fine Arts Boosters benefit our music and fine arts programs in Bethalto. They are responsible for some of our instruments and supplies, the musical's costumes, and supplies and necessary items found in our art program through Trimpe and Civic Memorial. Please consider coming to this auction! Tickets are $20.00 per person and a silent auction as well as a live auction is held. Our jazz band will also be providing some dinner entertainment! Students will be offered extra credit to help work at the event. More information to come! Along with this event, we are being asked to create a basket to include in the dinner auction. Our basket theme is "Board Games". If you have anything you'd like to donate to this basket, have your child bring it to me. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, March 17, 18, and 19 Civic Memorial presents Cinderella, Civic Memorial High School Auditorium - Our school's musical this year is the classic tale of Cinderella. The performances are at 7pm on Friday and Saturday, and 2pm on Sunday. Please speak to Mrs. Woelfel about purchasing tickets and prices. [email protected] Saturday, March 25 - Sweets 'N' Swing Concert, Civic Memorial High School Commons - It's back! We will be holding a Sweets 'N' Swing concert this year featuring our very own jazz band and St. Louis' Second Generation Swing.
