WSHS Band Updates

All-City Honor Music Schedule on CCTV (cable Channel 22)
For those that were in attendance of this wonderful performance, you may have noted in the program the air times for the event. I have simplified the lookup of this information for you by directing you to the CCTV “Schedule” web page: http://hexi.com/cctv/schedule.php3?keyword=22. The first of those dates will show on Wednesday, February 20th; the remainder of the lookup should be self-explanatory. Here are the dates as they were printed in the All-City Honor Band program:

For Channel 22 (Comcast Cable). The program was slated at 119 minutes:
February 20th @ 8:00 p.m.
February 21st @ 11:00 a.m.
February 22nd @ 3:00 p.m.
February 23rd @ 10:00 a.m.
February 25th @4:00 p.m.

Check the above web site for the specific day/time of the particular show. Sometimes things get moved around or not a whole show is aired, so check the local listings to make certain that you have the proper day and time (especially if you’re recording it).

Jazz Trip Update: Moscow, Idaho
Many already have this from a handout at school, but below is the latest and “hot off the presses” from Alyson Baker—again, some of you may have already received this directly from her. Should it differ, please accept hers as the most accurate.

Food:
o We will provide Saturday breakfast.
o Friday breakfast will be cheap ($2) at the school
o Friday and Saturday lunches on your own ($5-10 ea.)
o Thursday, Friday, and Saturday dinners on your own ($10-15 ea.)
o Tip for the bus driver: $2 or $3
o TOTAL: Bring about $50.00 to feed yourself for the weekend!
o Souvenir/spending money extra!

What to Bring:
o All instruments and music for all six tunes we have prepared.
o A folding wire music stand if you have one
o Amps and percussion: They provide a full drumset & both amps on stage. We still need those items for rehearsals.
o They DO NOT provide Vibes. We need a plan.
o On Saturday, most students will be carrying all their equipment around town all day. Plan accordingly.
o Sleeping bag and pad.
o Clothes * including those for performance and those for cold weather.
o Toiletries. The university showers available to us are not private, so a swimsuit is encouraged.
