The high school band has been asked by WKAR to be involved in a film project that they are working on that highlights events/performances sponsored by the MSBOA. A film crew from WKAR is going to be coming to our high school on Friday, March 28th, during 4th hour to film our rehearsal. There is also a plan for us to travel to their studio in May to record our band festival pieces. Part of these segments will then air on a television show sometime in the fall.
In order for our students to participate in these events we need to have a Performance/Appearance Release form filled out. If a student is under 18 years old it must be signed by a parent. The form is attached. I would really appreciate having these forms returned by tomorrow, March 27th. I'm looking forward to this special opportunity for our band students to be featured. Thanks for your help in getting the necessary paperwork filled out. Please let me know if you have questions. Lynn Kelsey

Our meeting for this month's band meeting on Wednesday, March 12th, will be a moved to the High School band room at 5:30 pm because, with the arrival of the new uniforms, we are going to be doing a bit of work for this booster meeting.
Over the weekend Larry and I spent some time in the band room doing some organizing. We got the uniforms in the room but still need to get the hats/shakos done. So we will be working on getting the hats/shakos unpacked and in the band room. I am hoping to get this done the first hour and then go into the rest of the meeting, which will include the following:
We will still adjourn the meeting at 7:30 pm or as close to it as possible. |
