Info for the Week of 9/9 through 9/13

Good afternoon MSMS Band!

Here’s your info for the week:

Fundraiser Order Forms and Money Due MONDAY!

Parents, the fall fundraiser order forms and money are due Monday, September 9. I have a large cardboard box up next to my chair in the front of the room where the kids can drop off their envelopes with the order forms and money. Thank you again for your help in this fundraiser!

Drumline Parking Lot Preview Monday, September 9

Our 7th and 8th grade middle school percussion students are participating in this annual event. Their call time is 4:30 p.m. They WILL be eating pizza (Dr. Frederick asked me to pass that along to the percussion parents). This is going to be a FUN night of percussion!

Here’s a promo pic:

Chair Test Material given to 8th Grade

8th grade band members received their first chair test material this past week. These chair tests will take place the week of September 23, during their class time. Parents, please encourage your children to spend some time working on this material. It will be a bit of a challenge, but it will help them to become even better players. It will help strengthen the group, as well!

Pics from the Homecoming Parade!

We had a great time Friday during the homecoming parade! Here’s some pics that were taken of the kids:

First Belt Ceremony for 6th Grade will be September 13

Our first “Belt Ceremony” for our 6th grade band members will be Friday, September 13. These will occur during their class times that day. Parents, please encourage your 6th graders to come to the band room before school to practice and pass off their lines!
