Spirit wear order form

Several parents said they did not get the Spirit Wear order forms from their students.  I am attaching a form, just in case you wanted to order.  I NEED the order form, with payment, no later than Tuesday for you to be able to get them before Christmas Break. If you want them as a present, please mark that on the form and I will call you to set a pick up time rather than giving it to your child at school.

Sincerely,

Barbara Smith

Band Booster Treasurer

Next 2 weeks in band - Nov 29th

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break.  Ours was busy, but at least we didn't wake up to alarm clocks.  Bliss!  One thing I did do with my oldest daughter was to go to the fall concert of the Armstrong Atlantic Youth Orchestra and the Lyric Youth Orchestra.  It was a fantastic evening of music and I was surprised to see how many of our students from Richmond Hill Middle School bands are members of this select group.  I was happy to recognize these students' names:

 

Maria Longoria- oboe

Cameron Brooks- clarinet

Emily Hollowell- clarinet

Darrin Williams- trumpet

Danny Park- violin I (he is a percussionist for the band)

 

If I missed anyone let me know.

 

This week in band the after school rehearsals will be at their normal time.  For those students auditioning for Honor Band this Saturday, please put the meeting time at the bandroom on Saturday morning as 10 a.m.  This is a tenetive time and I will be following up as Dr. Warnock receives our audition time information.

 

Next week we have 4 big happenings.  Tuesday, Dec. 7 all band students must report to the bandroom at 6p.m. for the Christmas Concert following the PTSO meeting at 6:30 in the Gym.  Wednesday, Dec. 8 is cookie dough pick up at the RHMS cafeteria from 3-5.  Thursday, Dec. 9 the Wildcat Winds will play a Christmas concert in the park with the High School band at JF Gregory.  The concert starts at 7p.m.  I am not sure of the report time.  We will also need some parent help to haul equiptment to the park and back.  Saturday, Dec. 11 the Wildcat Winds will be taking a program photo in their new concert uniforms.  Time is still TBD.  For all the concerts, all band students are asked to wear concert attire.

 

Your student should be coming home with a spiritwear order form today.  This is another band fundraiser.  If you would like any of these items for Christmas giving, please make sure your order is in by Friday, Dec. 3.  If interest is high, we may place more orders after Christmas. 

 

Keep checking your emails for the latest information.  We are in the final 3 week stretch before another break.  Hang it there.  There will be NO Band Booster meeting this month.

Band Parents and Students,   This is to remind you that your cookie dough order forms and money were due Nov 15th (Monday).  With the orders that came in today we have met half of our fundraising goal.  If you did not turn in your order form, please do so tomorrow.   If you are not interested in selling cookie dough but would like to help us reach our goal to meet our expenses for the Large Group Performance Evaluations we are accepting donations.  Just put your check (made out to RHWBB) or cash in an envelope and mark it "Donation".   Thank you,   Kiersten Scooler

This week in Band - Nov 15th

Parents,

Monday is a busy day for the band.  This Monday, Nov. 15 is the day we are collecting the cookie dough order forms and money.  Please make sure your student brings the order form and money collected in the envelope provided.  Your student's name and grade should be prominently written on the outside of this envelope.

 

I will be in the library at 10a.m. on the 15th to put together the materials for the Hat Day fundraiser that the Wildcat Winds is sponsoring on the 19th.  If you can come and help from 10-11 or so that would be great.

 

The band will be having their regular practices this week EXCEPT for the Percussion Ensemble.  The Winds will be having a special practice on Friday from 3-5 after school and will be using the bandroom.  If your student is in Winds and you have not yet RSVP'd, we would appreciate a heads up either way.  The Boosters will provide a pizza snack for the students and we need to know how much pizza to order.

 

Thanks for your help.

Kiersten
