Reminder:  The 6th and Jazz concert is tonight Thursday May 12 at 6:30 and the 7th, 8th, and honor band concert is Tuesday May 17 at 6:30.  Both concerts are at New Hope Christian Church at the corner of Whitten and Yale.  Students are to be there at 6 for warm up and set up.  We really, really need help with equipment at the school (trucks, vans, SUVs - have timpani, bass drum, xylophone, drumset, keyboard, stands) and need to be in the band room to load at 5:30.  Students are to wear black bottoms, white shirt (guys wear a tie), black shoes, and black socks.  Please leave cases in your car if possible.  We will need parents to help with ticket sales ($2 at the door), student monitoring, and set up/tear down.  Students are expected to stay for the concert's entirity unless it is an emergency and you've cleared it with me..... this is to respect and show support of your fellow band members. 

The students have worked so so hard and are ready.  I'm looking forward to two great concerts!
