Hi, hey, hello!
Congratulations on a wonderful competitive marching season. For the seniors, happy four years, and for the freshmen and sophomore classes - you made it! You now know what it's like to complete a full marching season. This season has been a rollercoaster, and we are ending it with a huge sense of accomplishment, fulfillment, and pride. Great work this season, Eagles! Thank you to those who helped on Friday night's football game: Amanda Jackson, Andrew Wood, Ashleigh Rhodes, Carissa Meyers, Charles Gross, Dave Arnold, Laura Ballard, Jenifer Gross, Jessica Oehmke, Nicole Arnold, Spencer Howard, Sue Walker, and Todd Ballard. Special thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Baker who purchased the senior's cookie cakes! We appreciate you! HUGE THANK YOU to anyone who donated or helped throughout this season. It truly takes a village to keep a marching band going. Butter Braid Fundraiser The Butter Braid fundraiser began last week. Students will receive 40% of whatever they sell. This money will go toward their trip to Florida if they are attending. If students aren't attending, whatever they sell will go toward the band and choir activity accounts. Students received paper order forms this past week. Online orders can be found HERE. Halloween Parade The Bethalto Halloween parade is THIS Tuesday, October 26th. Students will meet at the school, get on buses that will drive us to the beginning of the parade route, march the parade, buses will pick us up at the end of the parade, and then we will be bussed back to CM. The call time for this parade will be 5:30 pm. Students should wear costumes, but ensure that they don't interfere with playing your instrument or spinning your flag. We could use some help at the Halloween Parade - please see HERE for the signup link. This is a FUN parade and it's great to be involved in a community event. Vendor Fair The Fine Arts Boosters will have a table at the Vendor Fair on November 6 and 7 at CM. If you are willing and interested to work a shift at this, please sign up HERE. Percussion Ensemble Adjustments Percussion ensembles began last week and will continue until the end of the semester. The following changes affect students that are performing Numerology. Monday, November 8th rehearsal time has been changed to the same date from 5 pm-6:30 pm to accommodate those who participate in the play. Monday, November 15th rehearsal date and time has been changed to Sunday, November 14th from 12:30 pm-2 pm. Pep Band Dates (Updated) For approximate start times, you can reference the band calendar, found HERE.
