Band Newsletter #3

Important Message from Dr. Nail
Just a reminder that this is the time of the year to set up your private lessons for students who want them. Also coming due are the WIBC and All-State audition tapes. Due starting October 1! Don’t delay as this date will be here before you know it! Finally, we’ve attached a finalized draft of this year’s full calendar of events. Most dates have stayed the same from the previous document you had during band camp, but this one supersedes it, so please dispose of the other one so as to not confuse the two. There are still some “TBD” dates, but the competition dates for Marching Band are fairly solid. We will publish portions of this document in this newsletter for near future events and update the entire document from time-to-time, so please be on the lookout for updates.
The next few dates from the document that are NEXT WEEK:

Tuesday, 9/4: Titan Band and Guard; Marching Rehearsals at West 6 P.M. – 9 P.M. (Due to holiday on Monday)

Wednesday, 9/5: Titan Band and Guard; Marching Rehearsals at West 6 P.M. – 9 P.M.

A copy of the updated calendar of events should be up on the WSHS Music Booster Web site shortly. We will update you if it will be in a different location, but give it a couple of days to get there, otherwise you might still be looking at the older one that was handed out at band camp.

Reminder: “Music Day” Coming Soon!

Reminder: U of O “Security Detail” Fundraiser (“encore performance” from Newsletter #2)
(Contributors: Lisa McIntyre, Patricia Nielsen)
The first opportunity for the “Security Detail” fundraiser is fast approaching with the first opportunity occurring Sept. 1, 2007. The exact start times have not been finalized, but is tentatively set for approximately 8:00 a.m. (for a 12:30 p.m. game). Students, family, and friends who work on this detail must be at least 16 years old. Prior to the posting of this in today’s newsletter, there were approximately 20-25 slots remaining to fill for this first game. This is a great way to earn money for your individual student music account. It is strongly encouraged that sophomores and juniors get involved! For more information, please contact the Barnick family.
