That just goes to show you that I should not type up these updates on a Saturday night after a band event! Haha!
Below is the entire update again, with some revisions. Thank you! Hi, hey, hello! Congratulations to Alex Hornsey for a wonderful ILMEA performance this past weekend! Alex auditioned on percussion back in October for a place in this festival and was selected. He was one of only eleven percussionists in our district, District 6, which extends as far north as Alton, all the way to Indianapolis and down to the southernmost tip of Illinois (we are the largest district in terms of square mileage in Illinois!) to be selected. I'm so proud! Fine Arts Boosters Mattress Fundraiser The Fine Arts Boosters are trying something new this year - a mattress fundraiser on Saturday, Dec. 15! For this fundraiser to succeed, we need YOU! Please take a look at this invitation and consider coming to our parent information meeting on Tuesday, November 27th at 6pm - the company we are going through will donate $5 to the Fine Arts Boosters for every family that attends this meeting! Winter Guard The tentative approval for winter guard has been received! Winter guard is an extension of color guard, but it's inside, on the gym floor. The same equipment is used, but instead of playing to a live band, the guard will spin to a recorded track. Auditions will be THIS MONDAY from 6:30pm-8:30pm with rehearsals starting next week on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30pm-8:30pm. CM Tour to Trimpe & Meadowbrook We have been given the opportunity to tour to Meadowbrook Intermediate and Trimpe Middle School to share our music with students that may not be able to come to our concerts! This tour will be on Tuesday, December 18th and you can see the itinerary for the day HERE. Special shout out to Mr. VonBergen for driving the trailer for us on this day! :) Weekly Goals Work through Adventum and clean up Christmas Prism and Pat-a-Pan. Percussion - Swingin' Jingle Bells.

Let's make it to the end of 2018! Musically yours -- Michaela Davis
