Hi, hey, hello!
My apologies for sending out this update late; I was in Morton, Illinois all day preparing for the Illinois Ambassadors of Music trip to Europe along with Natalie Gould and Sydney Stuart. It's certainly going to be an experience (16 days in Europe!!) for all of us! IT IS CONCERT WEEK!! Our concert is this Thursday at Cornerstone Church at 7:30pm. I'm asking students to please be there at 5:30pm to help set up the church and to get used to the new space. The sound will be MUCH DIFFERENT than in CM's auditorium! Please wear all black, leggings/tights underneath dresses/skirts and no open toed shoes. (Reminder that your concert dress does affect your grade!). There is also an extra credit opportunity this week! On Tuesday evening in the CM gym is our 5th-8th grade band concert. If you would like some extra credit, please be in the gym at 5:30pm to help set up and move percussion equipment. Seniors and Senior Parents/Guardian - If you haven't done so, please send me a freshmen year photo and a senior year photo to include in the slideshow for Thursday night at the concert. - Seniors, if you do NOT have to take finals, please come to band on Wednesday and Thursday of this week so that way we can still prepare for our concert. No need to come Friday; we will be looking at Pomp and Circumstance for graduation. Please also attend band on Monday of next week to get through Loch Lomond. Attendance on Tuesday is determined by how well Loch Lomond goes on Monday and no need to come Wednesday or Thursday! Friday is a no-go as well because it is the first day of finals! Graduation - Graduation is on Saturday, May 19 at 7pm. Please plan on meeting at 5pm to run through our music and make sure everything is set up properly. Where we are at (inside or outside) depends on weather. Dress is nice clothes! Seniors - remember you play with us before the ceremony and then walk in with your class. :) This Week Monday, May 7 - Jazz Band (3pm-4pm; Garrett Schmidt from SIUE will be with us!) - 5th-7th Choir Concert (7pm; CM Auditorium) - 8th-12th Choir Concert (8pm; CM Auditorium) - Alton Muny Band Open Rehearsal (7:30pm; Lewis and Clark Campus) Tuesday, May 8 - 5th-8th Band Concert (7:30pm; CM Gym - extra credit set up @ 5:30pm) Wednesday, May 9 - Color Guard Krispy Kreme Donut Pick-Up (Morning) - Percussion Audition Clinic (3:30pm-5pm) Thursday, May 10 - CM Band Concert (7:30pm; Cornerstone Church; 5:30pm call) Next Week Monday, May 14 - Guard Rehearsal (6:30pm-8:30pm) - Alton Muny Band Open Rehearsal (7:30pm; Lewis and Clark Campus) Tuesday, May 15 - Fine Arts Booster Meeting (6:30pm) Wednesday, May 16 - Percussion Auditions (3:30pm) - Guard Rehearsal (6:30pm-8:30pm) Thursday, May 17 - Beginning Band Instrument Rental Night (extra credit opportunity! 5:30pm @ Meadowbrook) Saturday, May 19 - CM Graduation (7pm; 5:30pm call - nice clothes!) I think that's it! We are almost there - 12 days left of school for underclassmen; only 2 left for seniors who aren't taking finals! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Musically yours -- Michaela Davis
