Our 6th grade and jazz bands did a WONDERFUL job Tuesday night in their concert.  The 7th/8th/and honor band concert is tonight at 6:30 at New Hope Christian Church.  Dress is concert black - white top (guys wear a tie), black pants (or girls may wear skirt), and black shoes/socks.  Admission is free so please invite your family and friends.  We need all students to be seated by 6 pm for warm-up.  7th grade is on the stage first and 8th grade/6th grade honor band is on the left side ramp.   If you can help with equipment/set up, please be at Appling between 5:20 and 5:30 to load and then at New Hope about 5:50 to unload.  We also need help taking equipment back to Appling after the concert.   If we have many helpers we can get it done quickly and efficiently.... thank you in advance for your help!  

The deadline has past for our band banquet reservations for next Tuesday night's band banquet.  If you pre-ordered tickets, there will be someone checking you off when you enter Faith and dinner will be served at 5:30.  Dress is semi-formal/dressy casual (no jeans.... similar to what you wore for Solo/Ensemble Festival).  There will be a slideshow of our year's events.  Awards will start at 6:30 and if you did not order a dinner ticket, you may still come to awards.  I'm looking forward to celebrating our year!

6th and 7th graders will not need instruments next Tuesday because we will be playing a review game on the computer while we still have them..... but you will need instruments the rest of the week.  8th grade will play this review game Friday 5/11 so please bring laptops to class and no instruments..... 8th grade will need instruments next week.

6th grade has Smart Music assignments due this Sunday May 13.... sections of your concert music.

The jazz band will plan to perform next Thursday 5/17 from 5-5:45 at Pizza Social as part of our give back night.  Please meet there by 4:45 or at Appling by 4:20 to load equipment and if you need a ride.

All school instruments are due next Friday 5/18 for check in and cleaning/repairs.  

8th graders...... look for information on a separate post for the packet that was given out at the meeting Tuesday night and also online payment information if you need to pay your band fee.  It is very important that you take care of that next week before school is out.

I think that is all.  Things are winding down and it has been a good year with the Appling Band!
