Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Blocker! They welcomed a new baby son, Milo Robert into their family 1/21/2020!
ISSMA Recital Night
On February 6th, Mr. Blocker & Mr. Leonard-White would like to host an ISSMA recital night. This will give our students another chance to play their ISSMA solo and ensemble pieces. This a great way for the students to perform their pieces before an audience before the actual contest. The students will be arranged in small groups consisting of varying grades and instruments for performance blocks. You can come and stay for as much or as little as you'd like! We will have performances starting at 5 and lasting until around 9pm. Performances will be in both the cafeteria and the library.
The band and orchestra boosters are going to host a Taco Bar in the cafeteria. We are asking for a donation of $5/person to help offset the costs of the food and drinks. We will take cash at the door.
In the library, we are asking for dessert donations from the band and orchestra families and the boosters will provide coffee and water.
To get an idea of the amount of food and drink needed, we ask that you fill out this simple RSVP form https://forms.gle/jFhdKWtatTvoPTAS7.
Roller Skating!
The boosters are hosting a roller skating band fun night on February 20th at Lynwood Skating from 6-9pm! We have rented out the rink and all band members and their families are invited to come! The more the merrier! Cost for this event is $10/person which covers entry fee, skate rental, pizza and soda. The snack bar will also be open and you can purchase other food on your own. Please RSVP using this form https://forms.gle/n7VnRUvNPN3HDbb98
Craft Show
Our spring craft fair is quickly approaching! On April 4th we will fill the middle school with crafters for a one day only show! This is a great opportunity to earn money in your student's accounts! $2 per hour for each person working goes into your student's accounts.
We are also going to do class baskets for the raffle for the spring. Be on the lookout for the theme for your student's grade!
If you're an organized individual and are willing to help co-lead the craft shows next year, please email us and let us know!
Popcorn Fundraiser
In March we will kick-off our Popcorn Fundraiser. We are currently pricing out a couple of local options to find the best option that will earn us the best profits. Delivery will be at our Spring Concert on April 9th, 20219.
Spring Concert
The idea was presented to have happy ads for our spring concert. These would be small little ads calling out your band student. These could be with or without a photo. Prices would range depending on size and creative work needed. Is this something you'd be interested in? If so, please fill out this survey https://forms.gle/CcmYaCQoxgMmBip2A
