FALL BREAK If you haven't looked at your band calendar in awhile, please review upcoming dates.  Be aware that ISSMA SEMI-STATE is the same weekend as FALL BREAK!  Make sure you keep that weekend free! WHEN we make it to Semi-State, we will rehearse on Thursday the 21st and Friday the 22nd.  The contest is held in Indianapolis on the 23rd.

RIDES AFTER REHEARSALS It would be greatly appreciated if all band students would please arrange for their rides to pick them up no later than 30 minutes after the end of an activity - rehearsal, game, contest, etc. Technically, the directors (or at least one of us) are supposed to remain at school until all students have left.  There have already been several times that we have waited for an hour after the end of band camp or a rehearsal for students to get picked up.  Yesterday, Wed. Sept. 1st - the last student was picked up just before 6pm (nearly an hour and a half after the end of rehearsal). 

BAND PHOTOS will be taken on Wednesday, September 8. Have your student bring home an envelope if you'd like to order photos. Freshmen parents: individual photos are taken of everyone, a serious and funny pose is taken of each section, and one of the entire band and color guard. Buttons of your student will also be available on the order form, PLEASE BE AWARE that the buttons WILL NOT be in until after the second invitational.
