Thank you to everyone who came and parents who helped out at the Halloween Dance.  So much fun to see everyone dressed up!  I have posted pictures on our A.M.S. Band Bartlett, TN Facebook page if you want to take a look.  We made over $2600 for the band.... yay!

Congratulations to all of the students who made the Appling Honor and Jazz Bands!  If you are an alternate or did not get a chance to audition, there will be a second round of auditions in December before the holiday break.

I need to order Veteran's Day shirts for those that need them and weren't in the group last year or have outgrown their shirt from last year.  Please be ready to give me your size by Tuesday of this week.  The band boosters will pay for your shirt but if a parent/sibling once to order one they will be $7.
