The Polo shirts are in! If you ordered a shirt, Kathy Holloway will be at Water Duty tonight from 5:30-7 pm and again at the end of practice, for pickup. If you don’t meet up with her, she will distribute shirts to your student.
News
There was some wrong information in the last email, sorry folks.
Next Thursday, 9/17/15, will be our first early rehearsal time: 2:30 pm-6:00 pm. We have several instances throughout the season where this will occur out of respect for JV Home Football games, etc. Please make sure the proper preparations are made for this rehearsal!
The students will be signing up for their Atlanta hotel pairings tonight after rehearsal. Please encourage your students to gather their group (four to a room) prior to the end of rehearsal, so as to expedite the process! Parents should plan to pick up a few minutes later than normal. Sign ups should take about 20 minutes, if all goes well.
Sheet music for concert band chair placements was distributed in class last week and can also be found in the student login section under the Symphonic Band/Wind Ensemble tab. The placement will consist of one etude: the All-State lyrical etude for the player’s correlating grade level - either 9th/10th or 11th/12th. The bracketed section is what the student should prepare. Please see the requirement sheet for exact directions, and e-mail Mr. Madrinan with questions. This chair placement etude will also be the All-County audition prepared piece. All Wind-Ensemble members are required to pass off with Mr. Madrinan and attend the audition; Symphonic Band members are strongly recommended to audition. Chair placements for the SHS Concert Bands will begin promptly on Monday, 9/14/15.
Next Thursday, 9/17/15, will be our first early rehearsal time: 2:30 pm-6:00 pm. We have several instances throughout the season where this will occur out of respect for JV Home Football games, etc. Please make sure the proper preparations are made for this rehearsal!

We are giving a huge shout out for every volunteer to work 2 or 3 shifts this month. There are numerous activities that are band related so all families should be working for at least two of them. Our main concern right now is cashiers. The Trop has asked for 7 cashiers for all games up until Sept. 20th, so every cashier needs to be signing up in at least two opening spots. The next concern is cooks. The weekends seem to be the problem, so all cooks--go for it.
We would appreciate it if you would sign up before this Thursday so we can make adjustments where necessary.
