Band Update Sent 4/16/19
This information was sent home with most students on Tuesday. The rest were not in class, and will get it tomorrow.
It’s getting to be the time of the year where things are starting to wind down, but of course not for us as we still have a few things left.
Thursday, April 18th is Solo & Ensemble at AMMS. This is only for those students who signed up. I will receive your specific performance time tomorrow or Wednesday. As soon as you’re finished performing and have your scores, you’re free to go.
Friday, May 3th is the annual Band Banquet. The cost is $13 per person. Senior students do not have to pay, but all others attending do (parents, students, friends, etc.) It is at 6:00 pm at the Lakepoint Resort. The menu will be fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, garden salad, tea/water/coffee. Anyone/everyone is welcome to attend, so if you have family and/or friends that would like to attend just let me know on the form, pay the $13, and we'll be sure we have enough food/space for them. I'll need an accurate head count, and money by Wednesday, April 24th. All symphonic/marching/ show choir band students, colorguard members, AMMS band students (specifically those that participated in marching band, but all are welcome) are invited. Everyone that participated at EHS in any band ensemble will be recognized, so please mark your schedules now, and make plans to attend. This is a semi-formal event (look nice, but you don’t have to wear formal gowns and tuxedos… although you could if you wanted to!) Please return the invitation below & the $13 per person by Wednesday, April 24th so we can get an accurate head count. Even if you’re unable to attend, please return the form with the “unable to attend” part checked.
Please note that the band banquet is the same weekend as the AMMS Band trip, so I expect most 8th graders will be unable to attend (unless they happen to not be going on the trip), but your parents are definitely still invited!

Tuesday, May 7th is the EHS Symphonic Band Spring Concert and will be at the auditorium by Eufaula Elementary School on Sanford Avenue. It starts at 6:30 pm. Band students need to be dressed in their “concert black” at the auditorium at 6:00 to set up (percussion at 5:30), then warmup. The concert should be over around 7:30, then everyone will stay for a few minutes extra to clear the stage, and load equipment.
Friday, May 17th is the EHS Graduation Ceremony. It is at 7:00 pm on the football field (or the gym if it’s raining) and the symphonic band will be performing The Star-Spangled Banner, Pomp & Circumstance, the Eufaula Alma Mater, and possibly a few other selections. This is our last required performance for a grade this year, and is a required performance. Graduating seniors and any students that have a brother or sister graduating from Eufaula HS will be excused from this performance if they want. Students do not need to wear their concert black, but do need to look nice, as this is a graduation ceremony. Students need to be at the band room at 6:15 to warm up, then move to the stadium (or gym if there’s rain.) The ceremony is usually over between 8:30-9:00 pm, which is when students will be dismissed.
Band Camp Dates can be found on the band’s website at: http://ehsmightytigerband.weebly.com/band-camp.html and are also below.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
