CONCERT BAND CAMP!
This weekend is the 2016 Concert Band Camp! If your student participates in Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, or Percussion Ensemble, they should plan on attending. Students will be instructed by guest clinicians and receive sectional training, as well as enjoying skit night, team building activities, and finally, a performance of the Florida Orchestra. The itinerary for Friday has changed since the email that was sent out on the 4th. Please check your email for the updated itinerary or look for it here in the news section.
Students will need to pack a lunch for Saturday, and bring clothing appropriate for the Symphony. They will also need to bring $5 for dinner - section leaders will be collecting it this week. All money is due by Thursday - any student who has not turned it in by then will also need to pack something for dinner. No student will be permitted to leave campus for meals.
We also need chaperones to drive kids to the Mahaffey on Saturday evening. Chaperones must be Level 2 cleared and driver approved. Report time is 5:30 p.m. on Saturday evening, and attire is business casual. Parking is $5. Please sign up below if you are able to help! Also included on sign up are other Concert Band activities - most times will vary and will be updated as we get closer to the date. In addition, the March 17th date could possibly change to March 16 - we will not know until later this month.
For students who registered, there is a Leadership Conference being held at the Tampa Convention Center on Wednesday, January 13th. It features one of the foremost experts, Fran Kick, whereby he introduces skills in communication and leadership for young adults within the structure of a high school performing arts program.
For more information, please visit: http://fmea.flmusiced.org/programs/student-leadership-workshop/ Cost is $30 for students who wish to attend, and the deadline for collections is Monday, 1/11/16. Checks can be made out to SHSBB. Attendance cannot be granted without registration collections or communication to Mr. Madrinan. Itinerary and list of students who have registered is attached. Students should wear nicer clothes and may bring snacks for the bus ride. All students attending will eat first lunch, will miss periods 5-7, and will arrive back at SHS around 6 pm.
We are in need of two parents to chaperone students who are attending the Leadership Conference on Wednesday, January 13th. Transportation will be by bus, and itinerary is attached.
