Hi, hey, hello!
Seniors - Click Here for my note for you. I know many dates are coming up, but I also wanted to remind everyone of our (Mr. Juergemeier and myself) plan for the banquet. In lieu of an in-person ceremony this year, we put together a video announcing the awards. There is also a slideshow of choir events and band events. When you see Grace Gross, please thank her! All band slides were completed by her! Friday, May 22 @ 7pm - Banquet Video Released Tuesday, May 26 from 3pm-6pm - Awards Pick Up @ CMHS, Circle Drive GoogleMeetings - ALL STUDENTS Incoming freshmen are invited to this week's office hours, but they are just that - office hours. Feel free to stop by to ask a question or simply say hello! Tuesday, May 19 - 1pm-2pm Thursday, May 21 - 1pm-2pm School Owned Instruments - Current CM Students ONLY If you have a school owned instrument or anything else that belongs to the band, please plan on bringing it back to the school on the awards pick up date: Tuesday, May 26 from 3pm-6pm. If you are having to switch out instruments (euphonium to baritone, trombone to baritone, etc.), we will plan on doing this at FUNdamentals Camp. Lesson Plans - Current CM Students ONLY THIS LINK takes you to my weekly lesson plans. All assignments and directions will still be found on GoogleClassroom. Let me know if you have any issues using GoogleClassroom. I'm available daily from 9am-2pm to answer emails, Reminds, etc. I will post all assignments on Monday and Wednesday, even for the winds. This week's block schedule is as follows: Monday, May 18 - Block 1 Day Tuesday, May 19 - Block 2 Day Wednesday, May 20 - Block 1 Day Thursday, May 21 - Block 2 Day Friday, May 22 - Buffer Day - catch up on missing assignments & redo any work you feel needs to be redone (all grades will be updated this day from me). Important Dates for 2020-2021 - ALL STUDENTS/PARENTS A full calendar will be given out at the meeting once it's rescheduled, but please plan around the following dates. You may see a working calendar HERE - this calendar is NOT finalized. While vacations are important, so is attendance at these dates over the summer. As of now, our Marching Eagles first performance is the first week of school so we have to meet during the summer to ensure that we are ready to go! Unless we hear differently from government and school officials, these camps are scheduled as follows: - June 8-June 11 (8am-12pm) - FUNdamentals Camp This camp is for incoming freshmen, sophomores, and student leaders. Color Guard does NOT attend this camp, but percussionists do from 8am-10am. We focus on marching fundamentals and start to look at the show music. - July 20-July 24 (Times vary) - Music Camp This camp is for ALL musicians. This is where we focus on the music for our field show. The break down of the schedule is as follows: Woodwinds - July 20 (9am-12pm), July 22 (9am-12pm), and July 24 (1pm-4pm) Brass - July 20 (1pm-4pm), July 22 (1pm-4pm), and July 24 (1pm-4pm) Percussion - July 20-24 (1pm-4pm) - July 27-31 (8am-3pm) - Color Guard Camp This camp is for color guard ONLY. - August 3-August 7 (8am-6pm) - Band Camp This camp is for ALL of the Marching Eagles and is essential to what we do. It combines what we have learned at FUNdamentals Camp and Music Camp with our drill (where we move on the field while performing). Missing this camp is detrimental to the students, both from an individual basis and a group basis. - Football Games & Competitions - August 21 - Purple & Gold Scrimmage - August 28 - Football vs. Marquette - August 29 - SIUE Percussion Festival (Percussion & Drum Majors only) - Sept. 4 - FB vs. Wood River - Sept. 12 - O'Fallon Competition - Sept. 18 - FB vs. Jerseyville - Sept. 26 - Collinsville Competition - October 9 - FB vs. Waterloo (Homecoming) - October 16 - FB vs. Triad (Senior Night) - October 17 - BOA St. Louis - Optional Event - October 24 - Effingham Competition - Oct. 27, 28, 29 - Halloween Parade (Tentative - it will only be one date...) - Oct. 30 - FB Playoffs Round 1 A full calendar will be given out at the rescheduled meeting. It will include a full color guard rehearsal plan, percussion clinic, audition, and rehearsal plan, as well as a performance plan for the fall. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. We are all in this together! Musically yours -- Michaela Davis
