- Pep band dates are Jan 22, Feb 4, Feb 6, Feb 14 and Feb 18. (we already had one last week as I’m sure most of you are aware since your kids were there.) Students need to attend 4 of the 6 games. Ofcourse, they are encouraged to attend more than 4. I will provide alternate assignments for varsity basketball players and other athletes who are participating in the sport on the night of the game.
- Big Northern Honor Band is Monday Jan 20 for the following students. They were given music and an information sheet, hopefully they told you about it.
- Riley Jarrett, Josie Smith, Geoffrey VanHeeren, Tori Kuzlik, Piper Hendriksen, Alaina Haas, Reuben Brinkmeier, Joel Pauley, AJ Luna, TJ Shouer, Caleb Weekley, Brook Whitmer
- The pastry puffins sale started last week and orders and money are due on Jan 29. The delivery and pickup will be on Feb 14 at 11am. It’s an early release day, kids can pick up their stuff from the stage. The money raised goes towards individual Florida 2021 trips. We’ll also do a cheesecake sale in Feb/March.
- All-State music festival is January 29-Feb 1. Congratulations to Hope Cornett for being selected for Future Music Educators Conference, and Ryer Christian and Nate Dyck for being selected for band/orchestra. Ryer and Nate will have to audition again when they get there to find out which ensembles they are in, but this is hugely exciting and I’m very proud of all 3 of them. (parents of those 3, I’ll send you more details when I know their audition times with when we’re leaving, meal plans, etc)
- The Pops concert is Feb 19 at 7:30. Same format as last year, 8th grade and the 2 high school bands. The 6th and 7th grade concert starts at 6:30 so don’t be alarmed when you show up and the parking lot is already full. =)
- Students will be auditioning for symphonic band this week if they expressed interest and they will make the switch with the start of the new semester. I’m excited about the fun we will have and the music both bands will be performing this semester.
This month’s edition of the BHS band update.
