Weekly calendar:

Friday, March 22 - Clara Clark Fundraiser due (Honor and Jazz Band)
Also next Wednesday morning 3/27 will be our elementary tour for honor band to travel to Ellendale and Oak Elementary schools. Permission slips will go out tomorrow (3/18) and we need LOTS and LOTs of parents to help with equipment and loading and unloading because they will not provide any of the percussion equipment and music stands. We will be gone in the 8:30-10:30 am range if anyone can help and perhaps take the morning off from work. Please let me know asap.
Because of the elementary tour, we will flip flop honor and jazz band next week and rehearse honor band 3/25 and 3/26 and have jazz band rehearse 3/27.
Also.... be practicing for the Solo/Ensemble Festival on April 6. EVERYONE has been signed up (except for four students who contacted me with conflicts who will be performing for me in class) and several of our students will be performing in ensembles that need to be practicing together. Details should be coming soon with assigned times and information.
If you know any upcoming 6th grader going to any of the Bartlett City middle schools, we will be having our first annual "instrument test drive" on Saturday 3/30 from 9 am-noon for students to test instruments. Should be a lot of fun and a chance to recruit for our band programs.
Have a great week!
