Band Update Sent 11/26/18
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Break!
As the semester is winding down, we still have a few more things headed our way.
Christmas Parade Rehearsal – Thursday, November 29th
Before the break, I scheduled an after school rehearsal next Monday for the Christmas Parade, which is on Tuesday, December 6th. I had forgotten that the AMMS Band Christmas Concert is that Monday at 6:00, so I’m going to move our rehearsal to this Thursday, November 29th from 3:45-4:30.
Band Booster Meeting – Thursday, November 29th at 5:30 pm
The December band booster meeting was originally supposed to be on Tuesday, December 4th, but because of the parade, it was moved to Monday, December 3rd. But with the AMMS Band Concert that day, we have moved it once again to Thursday, November 29th. The main topic of discussion will be the planning of the Breakfast with Santa that we do, which is Saturday, December 8th here at EHS. Any and all parents that can help, please plan to attend the meeting, or contact our Band Booster President, Gail Salter, at gsalter@eufaula.rr.com
Christmas Parade – Tuesday, December 4th
The Eufaula City Christmas Parade is next Tuesday, December 4th at 5:00 pm.
Large instruments can be put on the band trailer right after school that day. If your instrument is transported on the trailer, you must return to the band room immediately after the parade to unload your equipment. Or you can take it home, and return it Wednesday.
We will wear full uniforms with black pants. You will also need a red/white Santa Hat. You can usually get these for $1-$2 at the Dollar Store, Walmart, etc.
