Our Winter Concert is coming up on Thursday, December 14th @ Lyman HS. Information & Times for this concert will be released soon. Thank you for your patience.
A few quick updates for this week – including a chance for your student to see a professional jazz band tomorrow:
- Don’t miss a chance for your student to hear a Professional Jazz Band @ School Tomorrow! See email for form (or sign the form that was given to your student):
Great news! Milwee is hosting a professional jazz band performance tomorrow, December 5th during the last 40-minutes of 5th period (1:50-2:30pm). The concert will be in the cafeteria and is open to all band students with parental permission & who fill out the attached form (a hard copy was given to each student today at school)
This opportunity is not mandatory and students who choose to attend the concert will need to make up any missed work in their 5th period class. Parents are also encouraged to “Electronically Sign” the attached form by editing the attached permission PDF and adding your electronic signature (your computer’s Paint can be an easy way to edit PDF). Then email me back the edited PDF.
- We will be discussing all of the tasks that need to be completed for the Winter Concert as well as the President’s Concert for FMEA. We will also be previewing upcoming events in the Spring Semester (hosting Solo & Ensemble Festival).
- THANK YOU for everyone who helped out with fundraising distribution last week! I hope you are enjoying the cookie dough! For the most part, everything went off without a hitch!
A few families have sent me an email concerning a missing or incorrect item; your email has already been forwarded to the fundraising representative. Thank you for your patience as work to make you whole. - There is no after school practice on Tuesday/Thursday this week. After school practice for non-Symphonic Band members will resume next semester, after MLK day.
Symphonic Band – There is NO after school practice this week, but next Saturday, we DO have our Saturday Rehearsal + Potluck and next week. Looking forward to next week, there are sectionals on the 11th (Brass + Percussion) and 12th (Woodwinds).
Thank you everyone for your patience and support.
