Weekly Instrumental Update

Dear Instrumental Community,

As the weather is warming up we are gearing up towards summer. Be sure to sign up for summer camp! The Freshmen and New Band Member Orientation will be held Monday through Friday June 14th – July 2nd from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. We look forward to meeting all our new students.

Also, the Independence Day Marching Band will meet every Monday evening from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM starting June 14th. Any instrumentalist older than 6th grade may participate in the thrilling and fun parades on July 3rd, so please invite all of your instrumentalist friends.

Last week there was an information meeting for this year’s trip to Cleveland over Memorial Day Weekend. If you were unable to attend, please email us and we will fill you in on what you missed. This will be a very exciting trip!

Good luck to our choir friends as they perform their Spring Concert this Thursday night at 7:00 PM in the auditorium.

Congratulations to Kevin Dinh who took second place in a flute concerto competition last weekend. Great Job!

A special thank you to everyone who participated in the Noodles for Band Uniforms drive last Thursday, and to Laura Passaro who set up the event. We were able to raise over $400 for our new uniforms. Any other suggestions for fundraising would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Mr. Baum and Mr. McOlgan
