We are waiting to receive information before we can set a schedule. Generally speaking, students need to be dropped off at the Fairgrounds Pavillion, and they will be bused BACK TO WSHS afterwards, so they may be picked up at West when the evening is over. Please contact Mr. Griffiths for further instructions or questions. Another update will no doubt be made in next week’s newsletter, but please see Mr. Griffiths for any up-to-the-minute changes.

Picture of the week
(Contributor: Jesse Seeley)
In a GRUELING recording session this past Friday, Mr. Griffiths is caught in one of his many points of exhaustive state of a recording session that extended over nine hours, with the last musician to leave after 11:00 p.m.—who KNOWS when Mr. G left the building, but we hope it was shortly thereafter. The recording session will be to produce the CDs for upcoming sales to be used as fund raisers.Encore!!! Concert Attire: End-of-year turn in
(Contributor: Deanna Garney)
All Titan Band Members: Concert attire return instructions follow. . .Your first chance to turn in will be after “Spring Concert” on May 29th
Please be ready to turn in your concert attire in the coming weeks. Those of you whose last concert is the “Spring Concert” (May 29th), you can start turning them in that night or the following day (May 30th). If you plan on turning it in at the conclusion of the Spring Concert, you’d obviously want to bring a change of clothes, change after the concert then you don't have to try to remember them the next day.
Boys - Turn in Tux Jacket and Pants only hanging in the green garment bag with your name in the front (clear) pocket.
Girls - Turn in your Dress in the green garment bag also with your name in the front pocket.
Jazz Band and Symphony will need to start turning theirs in after June 2nd. It's important that your name be attached, otherwise the school will charge you for the attire and place any student records on hold.
Seniors: If you would like to donate your bow ties, tux shirts or marching shoes (good condition only) that would be great we can always use them.
If there are any questions, please contact Deanna Garney via email at dg5758@comcast.net
