Hi gang, First of all, everyone must take their uniform home and get it dry cleaned by next Monday. Please try your old uniform on to see if it still fits. If it fits, then we will put your name on it and it will be yours next fall. If something doesn’t fit, then let us know now so we can get you fitted before incoming freshmen next fall. Also, make sure your name is on the uniform bag and you have your uniform on the heavy duty hanger, not the ones you are going to get from the cleaners.
Second, we have to perform next Friday at Graduation. A bus will leave school at 2 pm so no one has to deal with traffic and parking downtown. Dress for graduation is concert band dress. Girls in black. Boys in dress school uniform with black pants, shoes, and socks.
Third, we are in need of volunteers to work our band camp (July 27-31). We need parents to work hydration (from about 8:20 am until 11:30). It would be easier if we had several parents so we could divide the shifts up among you. Please check your schedules and email me or respond to this blog if you can help us. That includes all my incoming freshmen parents out there. We really need someone to step up and donate hydration items like, popsicles, fresh fruit (ice, cold, watermelon), juice, etc.
Finally, we are going to have our first annual Senior Jazz Brunch this Saturday at my home. Miss Lisa and I are going to be preparing the menu which will include eggs benedict, scrambled eggs (for those who don’t benedict), cheese grits, hash browns, sausage, biscuits, muffins, fruit, and drink (coffee, milk, and juice). If you don’t eat any of this (pizza lover-you know who you are) then let me know so we can try to accommodate you. If you cannot make it Saturday morning, then please let me know ASAP so I know how much food to prepare. Oh, BTW, we will have Banana’s Foster for desert! I promise NOT to burn down the neighborhood!
