Smart Music assignments need to be done tonight or in the morning because interims are due at 5 pm on Friday.  I just sent a remind text message about this and have been announcing all week in class, but when checking, there are several students that have not completed them.  There are also some students that are not spending time on them and submitting their best work. Please do your best and do not procrastinate on these..... they have been posted for 2 weeks. 

 

For 6th grade, it is #150, 152, and two excerpts of Aztec Dance.  For 7th grade it is #99, 113, 115, and two excerpts of Engines of Resistence.  For 8th grade it is #141, 153, excerpt of Winchester March, and excerpt of Italian Feast.

Thank you to all that came to work the dog and car wash on Saturday!  We made $456 toward our Atlanta spring trip and had a lot of fun.  Also thanks for those that supported and helped at the Spring Fling last weekend and who came to the spirit nights at Baby Jacks and Five Guys.

We have a very busy week with the Appling Band!  Here is the schedule:

Monday - Honor Band rehearsal until 4

Tuesday - Jazz Band rehearsal until 4, Band Booster meeting 6:30 (Required for trip participants to get all information and pay fees)

Wednesday - Jazz Band rehearsal until 4.  This is also the last day to let me know if you want to be nominated for the Midsouth Junior High Honor Band event at Arkansas State University. 

Thursday - No MAPS classes - Hoops for Heart.  West TN jazz festival after school at Kate Bond Middle (permission slip to be sent home and on my webpage).  Honor and jazz band members perform at 6th grade orientation - be there 5:30.  Bring black shoes, socks, and gym shorts (honor band) and wear black uniform jazz band.

Friday - No MAPS class - Hoops for Heart.  All Smart Music assignments are due - Interims to be turned in by 5 pm so I need them submitted by Friday morning so that I can listen to them.

 

Sunday - Extra Credit opportunity - Memphis Youth Symphony and Memphis Symphony Orchestra Side by Side concert - 6 pm West Memphis, Ark.  Tickets $10 adults, $5 students

 

I think this is all for now.  Let's have a great week!

We are also in need of a sign for the table. If you are interested, please email me and I will let you know what info you need to put on it. All proceeds will go toward the spring trip to Atlanta.

We will have a tent and a table. You can bring lawn chairs if you would like. All volunteers helping at the table will need to check in at the check-in table and get a name tag.

We have a lot going on this month. We currently have two fundraisers going on. The Clara Clark Sander’s Collection bed sheets is our last ISA fundraiser. The sheets are $40 a set, available in twelve colors, and size twin through California king. I’ve attached the form to the email and I will also have printed forms with me on Saturday. All orders are due by Friday, April 15.

Our second general band fundraiser is through Premier Designs Jewelry. Mrs. Edmiston is giving her profits to the band. She will be at Spring Fling on Saturday if you would like to look at her jewelry in person and go to her booth. You can order at the booth, talk to Mrs. Sanders, or go online to janiceedmiston.mypremierdesigns.com. Mrs. Sanders has some catalogs in the band room if you would like to take a look. If you book a show from Mrs. Edmiston, she will also give all or part of the profits to the band. Specials: Buy two get one free or buy one get one half off. If you spend $75 or more you can get a $50 or less item for free. All proceeds will go to the band spring trip to Atlanta.
