Good afternoon,

It’s a busy but festive week ahead of us!

Monday:

Phase 2 auditions are TOMORROW afternoon at Berkner HS. Sign-in begins at 5pm! You will be excused from 7th period so that you have time to get something to eat and be at Berkner ready to warm-up before 5pm.

NO Jazz Ensemble this week! All directors will be gone for Phase 2 auditions on Monday afternoon

Tuesday:

LHJH Winter Concert at LHHS 6:30pm – Band students who are signed up to work the event need to arrive BY 5:45 wearing Red Adidas shirt and dark pants

Wednesday:

Concert Band 1 (Mr. Singleton’s 3rd period) morning rehearsal 7:30-8:30am

FMJH Winter Concert at LHHS 7pm – Band students who are signed up to work the event need to arrive BY 6:15 wearing Red Adidas shirt and dark pants

Thursday: LHHS Winter Concert 7pm

Call time for all band students is 6:15pm. Dress for the concert is full formal uniform (Girls in black concert dresses/boys in full tuxedo including bow tie). Formal uniform should have been brought home last week but MANY students still have theirs at school. These need to be taken home and tried on BY TOMORROW to ensure that things fit for Thursday’s concert.
