The District Band Festival is February 28th at Okemos High School. Our band will be playing around 1:00 pm. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks. Lynn Kelsey Here is the final information for the District Solo and Ensemble Festival for this Saturday, February 8th, at Haslett High School. This packet includes the schedule of events for Williamston and a map of assigned rooms at Haslett High School. Please let me know if you have questions.
Good luck to all of our students participating. Any soloist/ensemble that earns a I rating on Saturday will have qualified for the State Festival, which will take place on Saturday, March 22nd, at Chelsea High School. Our deadline to register for the State Festival will be Wednesday, February 12th. Please check your calendars and be ready to register if you earn a first division rating. Thanks. Lynn Kelsey On Wednesday, January 15th, the high school band will be performing at the home wrestling match in the new gym. This will be with marching/pep band instruments. No uniforms are needed.
:00Report time to the band room is 5:30 pm. The match begins at 6 pm. We will be performing the national anthem and then "rah rah" cheers throughout. According to Coach Weber the match should be over around 7:30 pm. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks. Lynn Kelsey Happy New Year Everyone! I wanted to share with you some GREAT NEWS.
We've mailed the check to pay for the new marching band uniforms. This is a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE BAND PROGRAM. I want to take time to thank everyone who supported the fundraiser. Whether you worked at the site, did pick ups, donated food or drinks or invited your friends and neighbors to bring scrap, THANK YOU!!! I especially want to thank the SCRAP METAL TEAM. Without them giving of their time and talent we would not have been this successful: DAVE BAKER, CHUCK BAKER, LARRY SCHNEIDER, CAROL & PAT REWIAKO, JEFF SHANE, KATHY BAKER AND ALICIA CURTISS. ALSO A SPECIAL THANKS TO MR. THOMPSON AND MR CAMPBELL, COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO REALLY WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO HELP OUT OUR BAND. I want all of you to know the amazing task we have completed and what this means going forward. In total we have funded $21,620 towards new uniforms and the weather parkas. This is only marching uniforms, Ms. Kelsey is looking at color guard uniform possibilities. GOING FORWARD We still will be doing fundraising for the uniform fund. The uniform fund is not just for marching uniforms. We still have color guard uniforms to buy, and of course there will be other expenses for marching/color guard uniforms. We also need to update our concert uniforms so we can fit the entire band; we fell short in skirts this year. Plus there are other expenses for uniform maintenance that we will need to support. We have made a commitment to the school board that we will maintain a growing uniform fund to support the next generation of band members' need for new uniforms. I am looking forward to working with all of you in 2014. Vicki Schneider |
