Hi, hey, hello!
It's hard to believe that September is nearly over! Here comes October - which brings with it a LOT of events, as well as cooler weather (hopefully)! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all those who were able to help in any way at the Collinsville Competition. This boat sinks - the bus stops moving, choose your own analogy - without YOUR help! I'm so proud of the Marching Eagle's performance yesterday - we just keep getting better! That isn't always reflected in the scores, but it is reflected in our minds, hearts, and attitude. Homecoming Week There is a LOT that goes on during Homecoming Week so please make sure to read the following information! On Friday, October 4, we have our Homecoming Parade, followed by the Homecoming football game. This evening tends to be a pretty hectic and fast paced, and to make everyone's lives easier, we offer pizza for dinner rather than expecting the students and volunteers to go get their own food (parking makes this a bit difficult). Please see below for the RSVP for this dinner. RSVP by Sept. 30 so that I can order enough pizza for everyone. We will also supply drinks (soda, water). Please also bring the $5 before Friday! After Homecoming Parade Pizza Dinner RSVP - Click HERE The parade will start at 3pm so call time for the band will be at 2:30pm in the circle. Dress for the parade is marching shoes, black socks, black pants, and polo. Students involved in other activities may wear those uniforms, just clear it with me first. The parking lot is PACKED during this parade so arrive early so that you are not late! We will stay the entire game for the Homecoming game! BOA Permission Slip I will order tickets for BOA on Tuesday so if you forgot or ran out of time to give me a permission slip, bring it to me during class on Monday or at the after school rehearsal! Click HERE for the permission slip. Mattress Fundraiser Kick Off Meeting Our biggest fundraiser of the year is the Mattress Fundraiser that is held on Sunday, November 10. To ensure that this fundraiser is a success, we will be having a parent and student kick off meeting on Monday, Oct. 7 during our normally scheduled rehearsal. The meeting will be at 7:20pm in the auditorium. There will be a drawing for a prize if you attend this meeting! McKendree Competition The tentative calendar for this competition can be found HERE and attached. Bobby's Apples Fundraiser Pick up will be on Tuesday, Oct. 8 from after school to 6pm! Halloween Parade The date of the Halloween Parade was moved to Tuesday, Oct. 29th! This may be different than some social media posts that have been moving around, but this is what was communicated with me from the coordinator of the parade. If this changes, I will let you know! This parade is a FUN one - the students dress in costumes! We vote on best dressed at the end of the night. More information TBA, but please put the date on your calendars! Parent Volunteers Please consider donating your time and energy at any of the football games! We have one coming up this Friday! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0a4aa9a62ca3fc1-home We also need more walkers for our Homecoming Parade on Oct. 4. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0a4aa9a62ca3fc1-homecoming2 Goals for This Week Music Goal - Check memorization of School Song for the parade Visual Goal - Clean up drill and movements; focusing on set to set and spacing Week of Sept. 30 Monday, Sept. 30 - Student Leader Meeting (4:30pm) - Marching Eagles Rehearsal (5pm-8pm) Wednesday, Oct. 2 - Tri-M Board Meeting (7:30am) - Tri-M Meeting (2:40pm) Thursday, Oct. 3 - Color Guard Rehearsal (4:30pm-6:30pm) - Percussion Rehearsal (5pm-7pm) Friday, Oct. 4 - Early Dismissal Day - Spirit Assembly (During the school day) - Homecoming Parade (2:30pm call) - Homecoming Dinner (RSVP above) - FB vs. Highland (Homecoming (5:30pm call) Week of Oct. 7 Monday, Oct. 7 - Student Leader Meeting (4:30pm) - Marching Eagles Rehearsal (5pm-7:15pm) - Mattress Fundraiser Kick Off Meeting for Parents and Students (7:20pm) Tuesday, Oct. 8 - Bobby's Apples Pick-Up (After school until 6pm) - Fine Arts Booster Meeting (6pm, CMHS commons) Thursday, Oct. 10 - Color Guard Rehearsal (4:30pm-6:30pm) - Percussion Rehearsal (5pm-7pm) Friday, Oct. 11 - District Institute - No School Saturday, Oct. 12 - McKendree Preview of Champions Competition Week of Oct. 14 Monday, Oct. 14 - ILMEA Auditions (Select Students Only, Time TBA) Wednesday, Oct. 16 - Tri-M Board Meeting (7:30am) - Tri-M Meeting (2:40pm) Thursday, Oct. 17 - Color Guard Rehearsal (4:30pm-6:30pm) - Percussion Rehearsal (5pm-7pm) - TMS Band and Choir Fall Concert (7pm, CM Gym) Saturday, Oct. 19 - BOA STL Finals Trip Week of Oct. 21 Monday, Oct. 21 - CM Choir Concert (7pm, CM Auditorium) Tuesday, Oct. 22 - Early Dismissal - Parent/Teacher Conferences Thursday, Oct. 24 - Early Dismissal - Parent/Teacher Conferences Friday, Oct. 25 - FB vs. Taylorville (5:30pm call) Saturday, Oct. 26 - Fall Play - Clue (7pm, CM Auditorium) Sunday, Oct. 27 - Fall Play - Clue (2pm, CM Auditorium) Week of Oct. 28 Tuesday, Oct. 29 - Halloween Parade (Time TBA) Wednesday, Oct. 30 - Tri-M Board Meeting (7:30am) - Tri-M Meeting (2:40pm) Saturday, Nov. 2 - ILMEA Festival (Select Students Only, Time TBA) If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me!
