3 days to Orlando!
5 days to Spring Break!
Spring fever is definitely in the air and everyone is ready for a break. Students, keep working hard and striving to make good decisions. This is around the time of year where we start to see some students slip with their judgment making. Remember to hold each other accountable and do good things.
This week in band:
Monday: 4th block, Orlando parade after school, 3:30-4
Tuesday: 4th block, Orlando parade after school, 3:30-4
Wednesday: 4th block, Orlando parade after school, 3:30-4

Last minute Orlando Reminders:
We will depart promptly at 6AM on Thursday morning. The band room opens at 5:30AM.
Parents, please park in student spaces if you are leaving your vehicle. If your student does not yet have a space, please park in one of the following spaces: 296-301, 293-288, 216-224, 208-214, 142-144.
Student medications and forms are due to me no later than Tuesday morning before school. The nurse and I need time to contact any doctors if needed before we depart.
We will be riding the bus in and out of the parks each morning and evening and will all need to stick together. Please keep in mind that this is a school trip and definitely would not be setup like you would have when taking a family vacation. The itinerary was intended to keep everyone together and to tire the students out so they are ready for each night. Security guards will be in the halls each night to make sure all rules are followed.
We will join a Orlando remind group once we start rolling. If you would like to get a head start on that, please join by texting @msorlando2 to 81010.
