Hi, hey, hello!
MEMC - O'Fallon Competition Congratulations to the band on their third place finish in class 1A! Your focus, determination and hard work is going to pay off, but we cannot allow this small victory to define our season. Let's keep pushing and STRIVE to be better! Thank you so much to EVERYONE who helped in any way on Saturday - from chaperoning the buses, to helping move equipment, to driving the trucks and trailers necessary to move our equipment from point A to point B, to donating food, etc. We cannot do this without YOU! HERE is the video from Saturday; the view is from the press box. Enjoy! Evaluate! Create goals as to how we can get better! Save it! We will watch it as a class on Monday. GO, EAGLES! #whateverittakes Bobby's Apples Fundraiser Continue selling those apples! Funds raised go towards purchasing new uniforms for the Marching Eagles! Oct. 19 - Bands of America, St. Louis Super Regional Opportunity I am trying to see if we would have enough students/parents interested in taking a bus to The Dome in St. Louis to watch finals of the Bands of America St. Louis Super Regional. For more information, please go HERE. I will be passing this interest form out tomorrow during class! This is purely for INTEREST as of this moment. Fine Arts Boosters They are having a meeting this Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 6pm in the CMHS commons as well as their first fundraiser of the year, Rock N Roll Trivia on Friday Sept. 20! This is a 21+ event. If you are interested in buying tickets, please email Anna Pearson at [email protected]. I've also attached the flier for the event to this email. Parent Volunteers Parents, we need YOU! Please look below to see if you can donate any of your time to the Marching Eagles!

This is not official yet, but I wanted to give you a preview of what that Saturday is going to look like. Homecoming Dinner 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 evening, 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). After Homecoming Parade Pizza Dinner RSVP https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0a4aa9a62ca3fc1-pizza Goals for this Week Music Goal: How do we start and end notes together?
