We have another Spirit Night scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 9th at Tijuana Flats. Flyer is attached for sharing. We had such a great time at Sonny’s, not to mention we made a great deal of money, lets do it again. This is a fabulous way for us to get together and have fun times with the students, and make a little more money for the band. Share the flyer with friends and family, bring some flyers to the restaurant and discreetly hand them out, the more that use the flyer the more money for the band! Everyone loves to help the band! 20% of every bill goes to the band.
Each year, Band students donate their time to help our local Kiwanis Club unload Christmas Trees and stock their lot at the corner of 133th St and 86th Av. This year, the potential dates are Friday, November 27th or Saturday, November 28th. Kiwanis will let us know as it gets closer. If we have lots of help, it will only take an hour at the most. Kiwanis is a HUGE supporter of our Band Program, so let’s show them our appreciation and help them out in return! Parents AND students welcome!! Bring a pair of heavy gloves and wear old clothes – there is lots of sap and those trees are prickly! Stay tuned for more info.
Please note that there has been a practice added this Friday, 11/20. All students are required to attend.
Our school PTSA needs YOU! Each year, the PTSA depends on $10 membership fees from families to help them support our students and staff in the everyday needs and expenses it takes to be successful. If you have not already joined, PLEASE consider filling out the attached form and returning it to the Blue Box with your $10 fee. It would be great if we could collect them and turn in 75-100 forms from the Band! Let’s show Dr. Brittain and our school that we support them – get those forms in this week! THANKS!!
