Hello Band Families!

Welcome back! I hope you had a relaxing break! It’s time to finish out the semester and get ready for a lot of music in the spring!

We have two more jazz band rehearsals until our first performance on January 23rd in the Jazz Cafe! Mark your calendars- this is also a fundraiser and auction where you can win great prizes!

We have pep band this Friday. Themes will be announced by drum majors and section leaders this week! This Friday and Saturday, we will also have students participating in the North Shore Honor Band Festival at Lake Forest High School. An email with more information will be going out directly to those students. 

V-Show is coming up! The pit schedule can be found here. If you are signed up for Pit, you need to be at the full cast meeting on the 17th. We will begin rehearsals the following Monday. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
