Hello, hello, hello!
February is almost here! One of my personal favorite months. :) For those of you that participated in the Tom Evans fundraiser, they will let me know as soon as possible the pick-up date for our order. At the moment, please plan on the pick-up date being Monday, February 13th. We will kick-off our final fundraiser of the school year with cheesecakes! That fundraiser will be from February 22nd - March 8th and delivery will be on March 20th. This will be for individual student accounts for any future trips. There are a few big dates in March to be aware of: 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, 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! 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.
