Parents and Students,
I just wanted to give some updates to you about our upcoming events over the next few weeks.
First of all, time is running out to buy discounted Dallas Brass tickets. Orders are due to me by Thursday, February 28th to receive the discount. I have attached the order form to this email. Please do not miss the chance to see this world renowned group live in the GHS Auditorium on April 26th. Visit www.dallasbrass.com to see some videos and learn more about the Dallas Brass.
Next, we are taking sign ups for Gatornationals Parking. The event days are Saturday, March 16th and Sunday, March 17th. Students will earn $50.00 per person per day and we can sign up family members, friends or anyone middle school age and older to work. Money made from this event can help pay off fair share, rental fees or the Daytona trip. Please have your student come see me in the band office to sign up, spots are becoming very limited. I will be passing out detailed information to those who sign up next week.
Speaking of Daytona, our annual beach trip is scheduled for May 17th - 19th. The cost of the trip is $125.00 per student or adult. To be eligible to attend, students must have all of their fair share, instrument rental fees, indoor drum line or guard fees paid in full before they can go on the Daytona trip. You may use the Gatornationals as a way to raise a lot of money for this. Last year, we had one family raise $500.00 just by parking cars at Gatornationals. (See notes above). Feel free to send in Daytona money at anytime. A fresh fair share list will be posted on Friday.
Here's whats coming up event wise over the next few weeks.
Friday, Feb 22. Solo and Ensemble at Buchholz HS. Many of our students are participating throughout the evening. The guard will be perfroming at 7:10 PM in the BHS gym. Admission is free and this would be a great chance to see our girls perform close to home.
Thursday, Feb 28: Pre-Festival Concert for the Concert and Symphonic Bands, 7:00 PM in the GHS Auditorium. Students will need to report by 6:15 PM. This is a great opportunity to see how the judges evaluate the bands at District Festival. We will have numerous band directors from other schools with us to evaluate and critique our performances.
