Hi, hey, hello!
Congratulations to the 2018 Graduates! I know you've heard from the administration and faculty and staff how proud we are of you, but here it is again: we are truly so proud of all of you and cannot wait to see what you do with your futures! Performances aren't completely over for us, though! We do have the Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 28th. We will have a short rehearsal on Friday, May 25 from 1pm-3pm where we will run through music (we will be playing the school song and the Star Spangled Banner) and refresh ourselves on marching. There is a possibility that this rehearsal will only last an hour or so. I know this is outside of school, but I would hope that we could get as many students in attendance as possible to help our community celebrate those who died while serving in the armed forces. Only those who are currently in high school band or an alumni of the high school band should come to the rehearsal and parade. Please invite alumni to march with us! Dress for the parade will be the band polo (the new one - the old one is officially retired!), black pants, black socks and marching shoes. We will need some volunteers to walk with water during the parade so please let me know if you are interested! The band final is from 9:35am-10:35am tomorrow. I've communicated with those who have to take the final due to attendance, discipline, and grades, but anyone can choose to take the final if they want! If choosing to take the final, it will not hurt your grade. Percussion rehearsals start this week! See the percussion rehearsal schedule attached. I've also attached the full 2018-2019 calendar to this email. This Week Monday, May 21 - Band Final (9:35-10:35) - Color Guard Rehearsal (6pm-8:30pm) - Alton Muny Band Open Rehearsal/Auditions (7:30pm) Wednesday, May 23 - Percussion Rehearsal (3pm-5pm) - Color Guard Rehearsal (6pm-8:30pm) Friday, May 25 - Memorial Day Rehearsal (1pm-3pm) Next Week Monday, May 28 - Memorial Day Parade (9am call at CM - wear band polo, black pants, black socks and marching shoes) - will be back at the high school by 11am or so Wednesday, May 30 - Percussion Rehearsal (3pm-5pm) - Color Guard Rehearsal (6pm-8:30pm) Throughout the summer, I won't be sending weekly emails, but I will be sending monthly emails. However, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to contact my email address. I guarantee I'll answer! If you call and leave and message on my office phone, I cannot guarantee when I will answer that. Musically yours - Michaela Davis
