HSS Band 2009-10.10 Event Scheduled: Wed. 9/9 Island Creek Performance

Hi Band Family,

News from Mr. Burke: the marching band will perform at Island Creek Elementary school Wednesday, September 9 right after school. This is a demonstration performance to get their 5th graders excited about band. We'll need some parent volunteers to help drive the students and their instruments to Island Creek. If you can help, please send me an email to give us an idea of how many cars we'll have. On Wednesday, park in the back of the school, and come to the band room right after school gets out, around 2:30pm. (You can wait for the main crush of students to leave!)
Other details: the students will probably be asked to wear their band T-shirt; Mr. Burke will decide whether to have marching band rehearsal when they return from Island Creek, based on how much time they have.

Here's the schedule for next week:
Tuesday, 9/8/09: Evening MB rehearsal 6pm-8pm ("Staple Party" in the band room 6-8pm)
Wednesday, 9/9/09: Island Creek Performance followed by MB rehearsal 2:30-4:30pm
Thursday, 9/10/09: After-school MB rehearsal 2:30-4:30pm
Saturday, 9/12/09: TAG DAY - report to school 7:30am; hit the streets at 9am; finish around 3pm


One miscellaneous note: I have a kitchen towel that was left at the potluck dinner (it came home with me and made it through my laundry!). I'll leave it in the band closet; if you're missing a towel, you (or your student) can check there.


I hope everyone enjoys a restful and fun weekend as we honor our country's workers this weekend!

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
